In the episode, Mike Saunders and Eddie James discuss the importance of considering expenses and income streams when planning for retirement. They emphasize the significance of understanding both current and projected expenses to bridge the gap between people’s current financial situation and retirement goals.

To start, Eddie James suggests thoroughly examining expenses. This involves identifying current expenses and considering how they may change during retirement. He notes that expenses may increase due to factors like inflation and increased spending on activities such as travel.

To address the gap between current and projected expenses, Eddie James recommends considering income streams. Eddie proposes dividing income streams into two categories: guaranteed income and non-guaranteed income. Guaranteed income sources include Social Security, pensions, and annuities, which provide a steady and predictable income throughout retirement. Non-guaranteed income sources, such as investments and savings, carry more risk and may fluctuate over time.

Eddie James advises against relying solely on either guaranteed or non-guaranteed income. Relying only on guaranteed income may limit potential growth and fail to cover long-term expenses. Conversely, relying solely on non-guaranteed income exposes retirees to market volatility and inconsistent income.

To ensure a comprehensive retirement plan, Eddie James suggests considering other factors that can impact financial stability, such as inflation, taxes, and expenses. Eddie highlights the significance of inflation and how everyday item costs have increased over time. Additionally, he mentions the three stages of retirement: go-go years, slow-go years, and no-go years. Each stage has different spending patterns and financial needs that should be taken into account when planning for retirement.

Overall, he emphasizes the need to carefully assess expenses and income streams to bridge the gap between people’s current financial situation and projected retirement expenses. By considering these factors and planning accordingly, individuals can work towards a more secure and comfortable retirement.

Eddie shared: “Shepherding you to an impactful standard of living and standard of giving”
