You spent forty years learning to save. Now you have to do the opposite - and no one taught you how. Turning a nest egg into a paycheck that lasts the rest of your life is the hardest problem in personal finance, and Thomas Braddock guides you through it with calm, thorough reassurance. Making It Last covers the real challenges of spending in retirement: how much you can safely withdraw, why the order of your returns can make or break you (the quiet danger of a bad market early on), how to build reliable income, and how to think clearly about healthcare, longevity, and the fear of running out. Every idea is grounded in worked examples rather than vague rules of thumb. Braddock's tone is measured and human - he won't promise you it will all be fine, but he will give you a framework steady enough to replace dread with a plan. If you're approaching retirement or already living it, this is the guide to making your money last as long as you do.
