In this bite-sized episode of The Next Bit, Mark Leishman and financial advisor Hannah McQueen break down the five biggest retirement mistakes she sees after decades of advising thousands of clients - mistakes that quietly undermine financial security and independence, which can then lead to a negative impact on long-term health.

The 5 big mistakes include:

1.    Stopping work too abruptly

2.    No income transition plan

3.    Downsizing too late

4.    Underestimating care costs

5.    Overhelping Adult children
