They struggle because they're trying to move forward without clarity.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Wishing Game\u003c\/i\u003e, financial advisor and founder of East Valley Retirement Undrea Smith, RICP(R), offers a different way to think about retirement, one grounded not in market predictions or quick fixes, but in responsibility, guidance, and real-life decision-making.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on decades of client stories and deeply personal experiences, Undrea explores the emotional side of retirement that often goes unspoken. The fear of getting it wrong. The guilt around spending. The uncertainty that shows up when work ends and structure disappears. Through steady guidance and thoughtful reflection, he shows readers how to replace guessing with understanding and anxiety with confidence.\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a book about chasing returns or beating the market. It's about building a retirement that actually holds together when life changes.\u003cbr\u003eInside, you'll discover how to: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMove from saving money to creating reliable retirement income you can trust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNavigate healthcare, taxes, and long-term care decisions before they become crises.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvercome hesitation and fear around spending the money you worked so hard to build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand why clarity matters more than perfection when making retirement decisions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a legacy that protects the people you love, not just the assets you leave behind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThrough clear explanations and real client experiences, \u003ci\u003eThe Wishing Game\u003c\/i\u003e reframes retirement as a season of responsibility and permission. Permission to slow down. Permission to ask better questions. Permission to stop carrying uncertainty alone.\u003cbr\u003eUndrea also challenges the traditional view of financial advice, redefining the advisor-client relationship as a lifelong partnership built on trust, stewardship, and follow-through. When done right, guidance doesn't end at retirement. It evolves with you.\u003cbr\u003eIf you've ever wondered whether the future you're planning for will actually work when it matters most, \u003ci\u003eThe Wishing Game\u003c\/i\u003e is an invitation to stop wishing and start moving forward with confidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Undrea M.
