0:00.0 | Hello, Wine Embers. My name is Jesse. You come with another episode of the Wine Am podcast |
0:08.8 | where we teach you four rules to help you stop them paycheck to paycheck, get out of |
0:12.0 | debt and save more money. Today, I have done a little bit of an Ask Jesse. I've got a question |
0:16.7 | from Beth. She said she's been using Wine Am for about two years now, and it has really |
0:20.0 | given her a lot of peace of mind. As of last month, my husband and I have retired, so |
0:23.9 | I find myself in a new place in life where we no longer have traditional income coming |
0:27.8 | in each month. We have opted to not receive such security until age 70, a little aside |
0:31.9 | that Beth didn't add here, but that means that you can boost what you take is from such |
0:36.0 | security if you defer it a little bit. So it's smart to be able to rely on your own |
0:41.0 | funds and then push that as long as you can so that the payments are higher. But we have |
0:48.2 | saved back to Beth and have money to draw from in our retirement account. So they have |
0:51.9 | a really, really, really big pile of money or at least bigger than what they would be used |
0:57.3 | to as far as their normal flow goes. My question for you is how would you approach drawing |
1:01.6 | money out of the retirement categories to fill up the categories each month? Part of |
1:05.8 | what I love about Wine Am is the budgeting for true expenses. Yes. But I'm wondering if |
1:09.9 | it makes sense to pull money out of higher earning accounts into my checking account for |
1:14.1 | things like a future car. That's probably what five, ten year horizon expense, I'm saying, |
1:20.0 | or an unknown but inevitable house repair. A roof would be 20 years at the longest, right? |
1:26.1 | Water heater eight, right? But if I don't pull it out and assign it specific jobs, I feel |
1:32.7 | like I lose the joy and peace that comes from having planned. I don't know how many of |
1:36.9 | your listeners would relate to these sorts of questions. Maybe we better address in some |
1:40.6 | other form. I think we'd do it here. I find it interesting. So it's podcast worthy |
