Today's guest is our good friend, David Gourley. David comes on to walk step by step through the process needed to discover your financial needs in retirement. While retirement looks very different for each person, having a general idea and understanding of the amount you'll need will help you feel empowered moving forward. David shares a simple tool you can use to find this number and walks through an example so that you can try it on your own along with us on the show. Enjoy!
