Take steps to get past the fear
Exactly this. You have to take steps to get over fear. This may include hiring a financial advisor. If you already have one, you either need to use him better or hire a new one. Maybe it's digging into more software tools like Otar, Kotlikoff, or many others. Maybe it's doing some reading on risk mitigation.
But we know this, only one thing is guaranteed, and that is death. And you don't know when it is, but if you're past 50 you know you're more than halfway there. What do you want to do with those remaining years, work?
Yes, I too have been affected by early deaths, my brother, stepbrother, best friend, wife's best friend. So I know this is real. Sorry to be blunt, but we're 1 year retired now and feel like we've won the lottery. We live in the Caribbean on less than $50K per year and love every. single. day. We're winning now. I encourage you to join the team.
