Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing · How Much Does It Take to Be Happy in Retirement? · 5 Sep 2026 podcast

One of the aspects that you point out in your book about matched

what makes someone happy, at least when it comes to the money, is just the comfortability of knowing that you're not gonna run out of money. matched

And I thought one of the interesting insights from your book was that's a fear everybody has. matched

Even people with a lot of money. matched

According to your book, 39% of people with more than a million, less than three million, fear running out of money. matched

And even 25% of those with three million dollars or more are worried about running out of money. matched

And I know a lot of people hearing that will say, how can they possibly feel that way? matched

But I think it's just a natural fear in your book. matched

You cite the stat does matched

the study from Alianz that found that more people are worried about running out of money than dying. matched

So how do you manage your retirement in a way that you can feel good about the amount that you have once you're over in that green zone? matched

Another interesting aspect of your research is the relationship of retirement and whether the mortgage is paid off. matched

And I think it's tied to this to a certain degree because if you're worried about running out of money, you're worried about covering your bills. matched

And the mortgage is the biggest bill. matched

And if you don't pay it, you know, the if you really want to take it to the extreme, you're like, oh my gosh, I could lose my house. matched

So tell us about your research in terms of retirement happiness. matched

and having the mortgage paid off. matched

That's the end of part one of my discussion with Wes Moss. matched

Tune in tomorrow for the rest of our conversation. matched

Until then, thanks so much for listening. matched
