When Your Time Becomes More Valuable than More Money – Daniel Goldie

Retirement planning usually focuses on one big question: Do you have enough to retire? Daniel Goldie knows that’s not the whole story. A former professional tennis player who transitioned into another successful career as a financial advisor in 1991, Goldie knows something about leaving one identity behind and building another. In his new book, The Retirement Answer: The Six Key Decisions Every Retiree Needs to Make, he draws on decades of client experience to examine the six key decisions that shape retirement. In this conversation, Daniel and Joe discuss why it helps to retire to something rather than simply from work, why accomplished savers can struggle to give themselves permission to spend, and what couples should talk through before retirement arrives. Daniel also raises a provocative question: as your remaining time becomes increasingly valuable, when does trading more of it for money stop making sense? Daniel Goldie joins us from Palo Alto, California. _________________________ Bio Daniel Goldie is the author of the new book The Retirement Answer: Six Key Decisions Every Retiree Needs to Make.
