They discuss the rise of “golden handcuffs,” lifestyle creep, delayed retirement decisions, and the emotional realization many successful professionals face when they discover they could have stepped away years earlier. Plus, they dive into costly inherited IRA mistakes families are making under the Secure Act, strategies for managing taxes on retirement accounts, whether direct indexing is worth it for affluent investors, when municipal bonds may actually hurt your returns, and how to thoughtfully transition into retirement without losing your sense of purpose.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
