In this episode, Dr. Chris challenges the ultimate retirement "boogeyman" by explaining why probate isn't a mission failure, but a strategic tool for protecting your legacy. We’ll also clear the air regarding the headlines about the Iran conflict and the US dollar, helping you distinguish between real risks and "financial pornography." Finally, we’ll look 300 million light-years away to the Coma Cluster to see how the invisible forces of the universe mirror the hidden risks in your retirement portfolio.
