Whether you’re pre-retirement, on the cusp of retirement, or already retired, financial flexibility should be a focal point in the planning process. There are plenty of familiar concepts such as social security and budgeting, but approaching them strategically will enable you to enjoy retirement with significantly more freedom. In this duocast episode of The Uncommon Life podcast, Bryan and I discuss the common and uncommon approaches to retirement planning.

During our conversation, we address the common questions associated with retirement planning. We explain how to approach budgeting strategically so you can get to the other side of this big decision and understand what your future will look like. In addition, we explore how the homebuying process ties into your retirement strategy, as well as the different filing options for social security.

The earlier you start focusing on the points above, the more fruitful your retirement plan will be. As a matter of fact, if you take a strategic approach to retirement planning, you will be able to achieve your retirement goals before 65.

If you’re going to do it, do it while you’re working.” — Phillip Ramsey Share on X “Paying off your house is more of a numbers and psychological game than anything else.” — @Bryan Dewhurst Share on X “In retirement planning, the question of, ‘should we pay off our mortgage?’ will always come up. There are a lot of things that go into this, so you have to do a cost-benefit analysis.” —Phillip Ramsey Share on X “The decision to downsize your home is a major factor in how you approach your retirement budget.” — Bryan Dewhurst Share on X “If we save money or spend more to get rid of our debt, it puts the retirement outcome back in our camp and we can control it.” — Phillip Ramsey Share on X “Downsizing your home to a smaller square footage is probably going to cost you what you’re selling your current home for.” — Bryan Dewhurst Share on X “It’s hard for lenders to raise interest rates when so much debt is being incurred.” — Phillip Ramsey Share on X
