How do you build a retirement that’s financially secure and personally fulfilling? Josh sits down with retirement expert Fritz Gilbert, founder of The Retirement Manifesto and author of Keys to a Successful Retirement, to break down the financial and emotional side of life after work. Fritz shares his own journey from corporate America to an early retirement in the Appalachian Mountains, where he now writes, volunteers, and helps others navigate the transition. He and Josh dive into strategies for managing market downturns, the importance of a diversified withdrawal plan, and why so many retirees underspend out of fear. They also tackle the psychology of retirement: how to stay engaged, find purpose, and avoid the common traps that can lead to financial and emotional stress.
