How do you know when it's time to stop saving and start spending? On this week's episode of Money Mentors, Taylor Steward and Gerald Green of Mattson FInancial Services discuss one of the biggest challenges retirees face: giving themselves permission to enjoy the money they've worked so hard to accumulate. From expensive sporting events and dream vacations to major purchases and bucket-list experiences, they'll explain how to determine whether a splurge fits comfortably within your retirement plan.

Plus, inflation continues to impact everyday expenses, so we'll discuss how retirees can protect their purchasing power and why a second opinion on your income strategy may be more valuable than ever. We'll also also tackle the unique financial conversations that come with dating, remarriage, and blended families later in life.
