I’m a new retiree and am hoping I can learn from your experiences.
I just retired a couple of months ago, and am just getting used to it now. I spent my career saving and learning how to invest, and managed to save what I thought was a comfortable amount in retirement accounts. However, I find I constantly worry that the stock market is going to crash, tax rates will skyrocket or any number of other things will happen to ruin my perfectly laid out plan.
I am not really asking for any financial advise, but have a different question for those who have retired. What sort of real financial problems have you faced in retirement and how did you solve them or what do you do about them? Could better preparation at the beginning of retirement have averted these problems?
