Summary
For decades, most people focus on one side of retirement planning: Saving money, building investments, and growing retirement accounts. But eventually the question changes: "How do I actually live off this?" Nic talks about one of the biggest and most overlooked transitions in retirement: replacing a paycheck with income created from your own portfolio. From dividend-paying investments and automated distributions to cash reserves, taxes, Roth flexibility, and income coordination, Nic explains what retirement income actually looks like in the real world and why it's often much more complex than simply "living off dividends." He also dives into the emotional side of retirement income planning, including why so many people struggle with touching principal, spending from their own assets, and maintaining confidence once the steady paycheck disappears.
