I’ve been struggling with a decision lately about life insurance in retirement. Part of me wondered if I should cancel it, invest the money instead, or simply keep the extra cash every month. But another part of me still felt compelled to leave something behind for my daughter.
In this video, I talk honestly about the emotional side of retirement decisions, legacy, fixed income living, and why I ultimately decided to keep paying for my life insurance policy.
Retirement decisions are not always just about math. Sometimes they’re about peace of mind too.
