What happens when the little things you ignore turn into costly regrets—especially in retirement? Brad Ford shares candid stories about home projects, financial mistakes, and the dangers of putting off critical decisions. This episode tackles the real meaning of financial literacy, reveals why “what you don’t know” can hurt you more than “what you do,” and explores how clarity, second opinions, and written plans are essential for lasting confidence. Can your retirement path withstand surprises—lizards, leaks, or unexpected life changes—if you leave strategy to chance?
