Donna Fuscaldo at Kiplinger shares insights from Hillary Stalker, executive vice president and financial advisor at CapWealth, on how retirees can determine whether a major purchase is truly worth the cost. Stalker encourages retirees to consider the tradeoffs behind big spending decisions, noting that a splurge should not come at the expense of other meaningful goals. “That's something I want my clients to think of when considering a large splurge. Are they sacrificing something else they want in order to do that?” says Stalker.
