What happens if you make a retirement decision you can't undo? And how do you know when you've done enough research before making an important financial move? In this mailbag episode, Eric answers two listener questions—one from a military retiree looking to protect his spouse after declining a survivor pension benefit, and another from a listener who struggles with overthinking every financial decision. Eric offers practical solutions to protect your retirement income and move forward with greater confidence.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

🎖️ Military Pension Choices – Replacing lost survivor income after retirement

🧩 Creative Planning – Finding solutions for difficult situations

🧠 Decision Paralysis – Breaking the cycle of overthinking

📊 Retirement Reviews – Understanding the planning process

✅ Move Forward – Why action beats indecision
