Budgeting for retirement doesn’t have to feel overwhelming! In this episode of Ready to Retire!, I’m sharing practical strategies to help you manage your income in retirement—without sacrificing the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to build.

Many retirees worry about living on a “fixed income,” but I encourage you to think of it as a flexible income stream instead. We’ll talk about how to structure your income sources, account for inflation, and plan for unexpected expenses while still having room for travel, hobbies, and fun.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
✔️ Why budgeting in retirement is different from when you were working
✔️ How to shift your mindset from “fixed income” to “flexible income”
✔️ The biggest challenges retirees face—and how to solve them
✔️ How to map out your income streams and avoid common mistakes
✔️ Why delaying Social Security can help maximize your benefits
✔️ The importance of an emergency reserve—even in retirement

Budgeting is about freedom, not restriction. With the right plan, you can retire with confidence, knowing your money will last.
