Confidence Corner

We all love envisioning the day we can walk away from work and live off everything we’ve earned and saved along the way. Having that financial freedom to do whatever we want is such an exciting time, but it doesn’t mean you’re completely out of the woods.

That freedom can also become a problem if you aren’t careful. All of a sudden you have these large nest eggs at your disposal and plenty of people giving you all kinds of ways to invest it. 

So let’s use this episode of The Financial Answer to give you a little advice on how to handle retirement. It’s a difficult transition from many as you go from accumulating to managing and it’s easy to slip up. Nathan works with retirees all the time and knows first-hand about the challenges his clients commonly face. 

The best way to stay on track is working with an advisor and we’ll talk about that as well in this episode. Don’t try to do everything on your own. Utilize the people around you to make the best decisions and keep your portfolio in order.

A Point Of Wisdom:

Tell me the positives and negatives. If someone only tells you the positives about something, that should make you a little gunshy because there’s always a negative. There’s a negative to pretty much every investment. -Nathan O'Bryant
