Can I Retire With $5 Million? Planning the Next Chapter

For many investors, the big question is whether $5 million is enough to retire—and this real-life case study shows how to answer it. With Pat out this week, Scott is joined by Allworth advisor Mark Shone to walk through a $5–6 million household navigating retirement while raising kids, funding college, and managing a second marriage. Scott and Mark break down what really matters when asking if you can retire with $5 million—and how to make that decision with confidence.

Plus, a physician with $6M+ asks if being all-in on the S&P 500 is a mistake—and what to do instead.

What You’ll Learn:

    • How to evaluate if you can retire with $5M
    • How to fund college without derailing retirement
    • When sequence of returns risk actually matters
    • Smart withdrawal strategies for complex situations
    • Why diversification goes beyond the S&P 500
