Welcome to Ask an Advisor. I'm Krista Dibias here with West Moss.

I'm Wes Moss. Thank you for joining us today. We talk a lot on this show about obviously

retirement, preparing for your retirement. That's what, you know, I'm the Clark Howard show as well.

So many people were teaching them to save more, spend less, and avoid rip-offs.

And then, West, you've dedicated from what I know, and I've seen your entire career to

educating and helping people prepare and build their wealth over time so they can enjoy

not just retirement, but a happy retirement.

Which is a huge part of the research I've done over the last call a decade and a half.

And just finished writing, which will come out later this year, the Retire Sooner Method.

Retire Sooner Method.

But the subtitle is super important too, which is the five secrets behind America's happiest and unhappiest

retirees, which is very much research-based. And what I wanted to talk about today is a kind of a two-part

idea. I don't know if we've talked about this before, but where are you going to live in retirement?

Where you live is so important anytime in your life, it really does contribute to your

happiness, your environment around you. At least for me, I feel like it's very important.

It's not necessarily a specific place, but having an environment that feels comfortable

to me. Some people like, you know, a different type of

topography. They want to be in the mountains or by the sea. Some people just feel like I want a home

that feels just comfy to me. Maybe I can look out and see some grass, whatever. And I know in

retirement, you really have to think a lot. It's even more complicated to figure that out and then how

you're going to pay for it. So I'm glad you're addressing this.

Yeah.
