Retirement doesn’t come down to a magic number, it comes down to your number. This episode gives you a simple, personalized framework to decide when you can truly retire based on the life you want, not generic benchmarks.First, get clear on monthly spending (baseline needs + lifestyle wants). Then reverse-engineer your target by layering in taxes, a sensible withdrawal strategy, guaranteed income (Social Security, pensions), and the one-time costs people forget—like cars, remodels, weddings, or big trips.Beyond the math, we tackle the emotional side: purpose, identity, and designing days that feel meaningful, so the plan funds a life you actually want to live.What you’ll learn<ul><li>A simple framework to find your number, not “the” number</li><li>How to translate monthly spending into a retirement target</li><li>Coordinating Social Security, pensions, and portfolio withdrawals</li><li>Planning for taxes, RMDs, and estate basics without overwhelm</li><li>Budgeting for big one-time expenses (and avoiding nasty surprises)</li><li>Stress-testing returns and inflation—without getting lost in complexity</li><li>Building purpose and rhythm in the first 1–2 years of retirement</li></ul>If this brought clarity to your timeline, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—so more people can retire on purpose.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
