I’ve worked with people who had more than enough money to retire…


But weren’t ready to retire.


Because life isn’t just about not working.
It’s about how you want to live the time you gain back.


Plan your lifestyle. Not just your portfolio.

When building a retirement budget, most people only include the big items... and that’s a mistake.

There are everyday costs you can’t forget, including:

• Food, clothing, and personal care
• Transportation: oil changes, tune-ups, registration, maintenance, gas
• Healthcare: Medicare choices, long-term care, copays, doctor visits
• Entertainment: dining out, hobbies, travel

If you want a retirement that covers your real life, not just the bills, you need to include these expenses in your plan.

Most people think Medicare covers everything in retirement... but it doesn’t.

One of the biggest gaps?

Long-term care.

And 7 in 10 retirees will face it.

It may not be continuous — maybe 6 months here and 3 months there —
But on average, it adds up to 3 years over retirement.

And the cost?
• Home health aides
• Assisted living
• Nursing home care

Expect to pay $50,000 to $60,000 per year.

This is why you can’t afford to ignore long-term care in your retirement plan.

In this video, I walk you through what’s covered, what’s not, and how to plan ahead.

I remember the call.

A retired client was watching the market drop.

He said, “Dre, I think I need to sell everything.”

But we didn’t panic.

We followed the plan.

He had his buckets in place... cash, income, and growth.

He didn’t sell. He stayed the course.

And now? He’s still retired. Still living well.

That’s the power of wise planning.

Most people think retirement means saving a huge lump sum and then hoping it lasts.

But what if I told you that the value you bring can create the income you need... without needing millions saved?

Your wisdom... the same wisdom and experience people have paid you for your whole career… can become a stream of income in retirement.

Whether it's $100, $1,000, or $10,000 per sale. It’s not about price. It’s about value.

That’s how many pre-retirees are creating freedom and fulfillment in their next chapter.

Most people are told to just max out their 401(k)...
But that could limit your flexibility and delay your financial freedom.

In this video, I’ll break down how the wealthy use multiple income streams
from real estate, business, and the market to retire early and live well.

We’ll also talk about how to build an income plan that matches your lifestyle.

Ever hear of the Guardrails Strategy in retirement planning?

It’s a way to create income that adjusts with the market.

Instead of taking the same dollar amount every year, you take a percentage—based on how your portfolio performs.

Good year? Maybe you take 6–8%
Bad year? You lower it to 3–4%

This helps you stay flexible—without draining your account in down years.

And when the market’s strong, it lets you enjoy the reward (within limits).

If you’re interested in a smarter way to manage your withdrawals, let’s chat.

What’s your plan for taking money out of your retirement accounts?

There’s more than one way to do it—and your withdrawal strategy matters just as much as how you invest.

Some people use the 4% Rule. Others live off their dividends and rental income.

Me? I like the Three Bucket Strategy—because it gives flexibility, growth, and security.
