RichLife Retirement Show with Beau Henderson

Most people think retirement planning starts and ends with investments, but a strong retirement plan is about making sure the key decisions that affect your future are working together.

In this episode, Beau Henderson breaks down the RichLife Retirement RoadmapTM and the five critical areas that can have the biggest impact on your retirement confidence: Risk Management, Income Planning, Healthcare Planning, Tax Planning, and Estate Planning.

We cover:

• How to evaluate whether your current investment risk matches your retirement goals
• Why retirement income planning involves much more than simply withdrawing money from accounts
• The healthcare costs and Medicare decisions that can quietly affect retirement plans
• Why proactive tax planning is different from simply filing a tax return each year
• Common estate planning gaps that families often overlook
• How life events can create new risks even when a plan once felt complete
• Why retirement planning works best when all five areas are coordinated rather than managed separately

Listen in as we discuss creating a framework that helps you identify potential gaps before they become costly problems and making sure you're doing the right things to prepare for retirement with greater clarity and confidence.

If you're approaching retirement or already retired, this is an important conversation about what it means to be truly prepared.

You've worked hard to save for retirement, but what if one of your largest assets could also become one of your biggest tax liabilities?

In this episode of the RichLife Retirement Show, Beau Henderson and Bill Maina discuss the retirement tax time bomb that may be building inside pre-tax retirement accounts like IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and 457 plans.

Many retirees focus on growing their savings but spend far less time planning how those dollars will be taxed when they eventually need to use them. Beau explains why tax planning is about much more than preparing a tax return and how proactive strategies today may help create greater flexibility and potentially increase lifetime wealth.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why pre-tax retirement accounts may be your most heavily taxed asset
• How Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) can create unexpected tax consequences
• Why your future tax rate may not look anything like your current tax rate
• How Roth conversions work and when they may make sense
• The concept of "lifetime wealth" and why it matters more than your tax bill this year
• How tax planning can impact Medicare premiums, Social Security taxation, and legacy goals

This discussion is about understanding your options before decisions become limited and making sure your retirement plan includes a strategy for one of the largest expenses many retirees will face.

Most retirement plans account for market risk, taxes, and income.

Long-term care is often the missing piece — and it’s the one that can change everything if it’s not addressed early.

In this episode, we explain how long-term care fits into a complete retirement plan and why overlooking it can create pressure on income, assets, and family decisions later.

We cover:

•  What long-term care actually includes (assisted living, memory care, and in-home care) 
•  Why Medicare does not cover most long-term care expenses 
•  What the “70% likelihood” of needing care means in real planning terms 
•  The impact on families in the “sandwich generation” balancing parents and children 
•  How underused assets like savings or CDs can be repositioned to create long-term care protection 
•  The tradeoffs between paying out of pocket, traditional insurance, and asset-based strategies 

This is not about predicting the future.
 It’s about making sure your plan accounts for a risk that is both common and costly — so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence.

If you’re within 5–10 years of retirement, this is a decision worth reviewing before it becomes urgent.

What does it really mean to retire well?

In this enlightening episode of the Rich Life Retirement Show, Beau Henderson is joined by Dr. Jordan Grumet, hospice physician, personal finance expert, and author of The Purpose Code. Together, they dive into one of the most transformative yet often overlooked aspects of retirement planning: aligning your money with meaning.

Dr. Grumet brings a unique perspective shaped by years of walking alongside the terminally ill. He shares powerful lessons from end-of-life care that can help you live more intentionally, right now — not someday “when the time is right.” This conversation is a compelling reminder that true financial confidence begins with understanding who you are and what truly lights you up.

Beau connects these insights to the Rich Life Retirement Roadmap, emphasizing how personal values must guide every financial strategy. Because your retirement isn’t just about numbers—it’s about crafting a life that reflects your purpose.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why “purpose anxiety” affects so many retirees—and how to overcome it
• The difference between Big P Purpose and Little p purpose (and why the latter matters more)
• How to redefine legacy beyond money and legal documents
• What financial professionals often miss when it comes to helping you plan for what’s next
• Practical ways to start living intentionally—even before retirement

Whether you're approaching retirement or already there, this episode challenges you to think differently about your future. It's not about chasing a big, audacious goal; it's about embracing the small, meaningful actions that make life rich today.

What if the greatest risk to your retirement has nothing to do with your finances?

In this must-hear episode of the RichLife Retirement Show, Beau Henderson sits down with retirement coach and best-selling author Bob Laura to discuss the hidden dangers most retirement plans completely ignore: emotional health, identity loss, social isolation, and lack of purpose.

Bob, a former social worker turned retirement expert, reveals why the emotional side of retirement is the least talked about — and yet most dangerous — aspect of the transition. 

You’ll learn why retirement is one of the top 10 most stressful life events, and what you can do now to avoid falling into the common traps of boredom, depression, and disconnection.

Whether you’re planning to retire in 10 years or are already there, this episode will challenge the way you think about “retirement readiness.” 

Maxed-out retirement accounts alone won’t guarantee happiness or fulfillment. Without a plan for your time, relationships, and personal identity, retirement can quickly become “retirement empty.”

You’ll discover:

• Why financial plans fall short without emotional preparation
• The shocking statistics around suicide and isolation among retirees
• The “Perfect Day” and “Perfect Week” exercise that rewires your post-career vision
• How to apply the PERMA model from positive psychology to your retirement plan
• Why written non-financial planning is a must, not a luxury

Beau Henderson sits down with Don Graves, a nationally recognized expert on reverse mortgages, to demystify one of retirement planning's most misunderstood tools: home equity.

Beau and Don challenge the long-held stigmas around reverse mortgages, explaining how modern Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) can unlock significant tax-free retirement income, increase flexibility, and reduce financial stress. Don lays out real-world strategies to convert home equity into a powerful fourth bucket of wealth, working alongside income, investments, and insurance.

Key takeaways include:

✅  How the modern reverse mortgage is "just a mortgage" – not the risky tool people fear
✅  Using housing wealth to defer Social Security and reduce taxation
✅  Eliminating mandatory mortgage payments to free up cash flow
✅  Planning for the "certainty of uncertainty" in retirement
✅  The growing line of credit that increases access over time

If you feel stuck between financial freedom and the fear of running out of money, this conversation could reshape how you view one of your biggest assets. Don's signature humor and expertise make complex strategies feel simple and empowering.

Reverse mortgages aren’t for everyone. But they deserve more than dismissal. As Don and Beau emphasize, financial freedom means using all your tools strategically. The home might be the ace you didn’t know you had.

Are you missing one of the biggest tax-saving opportunities of your retirement life? In this episode, Beau Henderson breaks down the Tactical Roth Conversion Strategy and why acting before December 31 could save retirees tens of thousands over time. 

In this tax-focused episode, Beau and producer Bruce Steinbrock go deep on why Roth conversions aren’t just a good idea  —  they’re a foundational tool for lowering your lifetime tax burden.  

Beau unpacks the often-overlooked dangers of required minimum distributions (RMDs), how rising tax brackets after a spouse passes can blindside retirees, and how IRAs are essentially “IOUs to the IRS” unless handled with precision. From Medicare surcharges to the widow penalty to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act sunset in 2026, this episode lays out exactly how proactive tax planning can make or break a retirement plan.

Takeaways

• Roth conversions must be planned annually, not impulsively.
• IRA balances double in ~10 years — so delay = bigger tax hits later.
• Strategic planning can avoid the widow penalty.
• December 31 is the true deadline — not April 15.
• Medicare surcharges and tax brackets should be actively monitored.

Disclaimer: Converting an employer plan account or traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is a taxable event. Increased taxable income from the Roth IRA conversion may have several consequences, including, but not limited to a need for additional tax withholding or estimated tax payments, the loss of certain tax deductions and credits and higher taxes on Social Security benefits and higher Medicare premiums. Be sure to consult with a qualified tax advisor before making any decisions regarding your IRA.
