Connect with the Peterson Financial team here 👉 https://petersonfg.com/ Net worth can be a useful snapshot, but it doesn’t always tell you how prepared you are for retirement. In this episode, Eric explains why the number people are proudest of may not be the same number that actually drives retirement income planning. He also looks at the emotional side of wealth and why having more money doesn’t automatically make someone more confident about spending it.
