Navigate Retirement with Clarity

If you’ve ever wondered:

🔹When should I take Social Security?

🔹Is it safe to spend 4%, or should I spend less?

🔹Should I downsize, stay put, or tap my equity?

🔹Can I really afford long-term care if I need it?

You’re not alone — and there are tools that can help you find clear, personal answers.

The Retirement Dilemma was written to simplify the biggest decisions retirees face.
