What does planning a trip to a National Park have to do with planning your retirement? More than you'd think! I**n this episode, we break down 5 simple rules every National Park visitor knows and show you exactly how they apply to building a retirement that actually works.** From why you need a map before you start the trip, to why "packing light" might be the smartest financial advice to consider, this episode reframes retirement planning in a way that's practical, memorable, and (dare we say) fun. **We'll also cover some of the easiest, and most common ways people accidentally sabotage their own retirement,** from treating it like a finish line instead of a fresh start, to investing like they're still decades away from retiring. **And we'll bust a few "retirement lies**" that sound reasonable on the surface but can quietly disrupt your plans. Whether you're a few years out from retirement or already living it, this episode will help you think about the road ahead with a little more clarity and a lot less stress. **Chapters** 00:00 Intro **Retirement Planning is like visiting National Parks** 02:10 You need a map 06:00 Don’t leave a mess 08:25 Taking the scenic route 10:15 Pack light 11:55 Every park is different **Easy Ways to Ruin Retirement** 14:53 Looking at retirement as an end & not a beginning 21:15 Assuming your spending won’t change 23:30 Stop moving and socializing 25:35 Investing like your 35 and not 65 **Retirement Lies** 28:30 Current lies in today’s market 31:30 “A loss on paper… the market always bounces back” 35:25 “You can beat the market” **Listener Questions** 40:00 Offered a buyout on pension – what should I know? 44:45 What’s a reasonable rate of return on investments?
