He also writes a great blog for Forbes. I asked him to discuss the basics of long-term care, as well as the financial ramifications and implications for caregivers.

One of my favorite personal finance journalists is author and Washington Post columnist, Michelle Singletary. Happy to say that I've gotten to know Michelle a bit through our regular conversations. In her work and presentations, she frequently discusses her thriftiness. So, I wanted to discuss with Michelle an issue that I've observed through talking to a lot of retirees, that if they've been good savers like Michelle, it's difficult to flip the switch into spending. I asked her to discuss that transition in her own household.

How to Get Comfortable With Variability in Retirement
How to Transition from Saving to Spending
How to Account for Long-Term Care in Your Retirement Spending Plan
Key Takeaways
Hi, I'm Christine Benz from Morningstar and welcome to the How to Retire podcast. It's a companion to my book, which is also called How to Retire. Each episode will provide a bite-sized lesson about how to do some aspect of retirement well. Today's episode will focus on how to make sure that the amount that you're spending from your portfolio is reasonable. To tackle this topic, I sat down with Derek Tharp, who is a Senior Research Nerd at Kitces.com and an Assistant Professor of Finance at the University of Southern Maine. I've loved Derek's work on how adjusting your spending in retirement can actually enable you to spend more over your lifetime. I feel like it's so practical and helpful, especially for people with tight financial plans heading into retirement.
