Something every financial planner dreams about doing is helping their retirees achieve a far better retirement than they had ever hoped for.

Our guest, Amber Knips has a lot of experience doing just that.

In this episode, Brittany Anderson chats with Amber Knips, wealth advisor at Sweet Financial, about the biggest obstacles modern-day retirees face and what strategies they can use to mitigate these struggles, both financial and mental.

Amber discusses: 

• Where she sees retirees getting the most ‘stuck’ and what modern-day obstacles they face the most 
  
• How she uses “fear mitigation” with retirees when they are afraid of overspending (and the risk of inexperience because of this fear)
  
• What dreaming big means to her and how this mentality applies to retirees like you
  
• How to apply the 50/50 retirement approach – the misconception that retirement is either full-time traveling or full-time doing nothing at home
  
• And more
