About this listen

Ever wonder why retirement doesn’t feel like the freedom you were promised?

If you’ve been wondering why retirement doesn’t feel as fulfilling as you thought… there’s a reason.

The real problem isn’t your bank account. It’s something deeper.

It’s what I call the Retirement Disorientation Loop™— that quiet but disorienting cycle where, after years of structure, identity, and purpose tied to work... everything suddenly disappears.

You wake up free, but directionless.

The days blur. Motivation dips. And without a map, you start asking, “Is this really it?”

That’s why I created How to Retire Without Screwing It Up — The 5-Life Transition Method™—a clear, honest guide that goes beyond money and helps you navigate the 5 Transitions no one warned you about… but that shape everything.

As you listen, you’ll learn:

Why 61% of retirees feel lost in the first year—and how to avoid it

How to design a Freedom Number that reflects your real life (not just a generic formula)

How to Design a Withdrawal Strategy That Matches Your Real Life

The Real-Life Energy Blueprint for Your 60s, 70s, and Beyond

5 Retirement Fights Every Couple Has (And How to Avoid Them)

The Step-by-Step Process to Craft a New Identity (Even If You Have No Clue Now)

Building a Purpose That Pulls You Out of Bed (Even If You Think You Don’t Have One)

How to Turn Your Next 20+ Years into your most purpose-driven chapter yet

And much more…!

PLUS—you’ll get a FREE downloadable workbook, filled with guided prompts and tools to help you apply each step with clarity and confidence.

Tap Play now and let’s build a retirement you’ll love waking up to!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I’ve read dozens of retirement guides, but none hit the emotional side like this. Dave gets it—especially the part about losing your identity. I didn’t need more investment tips. I needed to figure out who I was without my job. This book helped me feel useful again.

Just what I needed

As someone who’s always lived by spreadsheets, I didn’t expect a book to shift my mindset so deeply. The 'Freedom Number' concept changed how I see my money, but the real magic was the chapter on purpose. I’ve already started my first ‘mini mission.’

This was the first book that spoke to me—not to couples, not to finance bros, just to a real person facing real questions. The Purpose Discovery section was eye-opening. I’m not just retiring early. I’m retiring intentionally. Highly recommended, especially for women navigating this alone.

That's talking for real

We listened to this audiobook on a road trip and kept pausing to talk about what it brought up. It’s not just informative—it’s transformative. The chapters on money and health sparked real conversations, but the part about purpose? That’s what stayed with us. This book is a gift.
