In this mailbag episode, Eric answers real questions from listeners navigating big life transitions. First up, a soon-to-be retiree wants to take the whole family to Disney World, but how do you plan a big trip like that without derailing your retirement timeline? Eric breaks down how to stress-test your retirement plan for one-time expenses and offers tips for budgeting a major vacation while keeping your future goals intact. Next, Eric tackles two more questions that hit close to home for many: how to turn a $500,000 nest egg into reliable retirement income, and what to do when you're leaving a job with benefits to go full-time self-employed. Hereβs some of what we discuss in this episode: π’ Budgeting for a big Disney trip without derailing retirement πΈ Creating reliable monthly income after retirement π The role of annuities and CDs in income planning π₯ Navigating health coverage when leaving a job with benefits π» Where to explore affordable individual insurance options Get in touch with the Peterson Financial team: https://petersonfg.com/
