"I'll just work a few more years."
It's the retirement safety net millions of Americans often count on.
In large part because the financial industry has convinced everyone that retiring later is the most sensible backup plan if your savings fall short.
But what if this common advice is actually setting you up for one of the most costly mistakes of your life?
In this episode, I'm sharing why the real danger may not be running out of money in retirement, but rather working too long.
I’m also sharing why choosing the right withdrawal strategy may help you retire sooner AND give you more confidence to spend in retirement.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
