Imagine standing at the water's edge, eager to fish but instead obsessing over organizing your tackle box. Many retirees do the same with their finances, constantly adjusting their plan but never truly enjoying the fruits of their labor. In this episode, Scott explores a common pitfall many retirees fall into: the "tackle box trap." Over-planning might feel comfortable, but it often delays the very experiences you’ve been saving for.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

🧳 Signs you’re wasting time over-planning

🔑 How to build a plan you can trust and enjoy peace of mind

🌄 Don’t wait for “perfection,” embrace adventure now
