As 2025 winds down, the clock is ticking for retirees to make key financial moves before December 31st. In this episode, host and advisor Matt McClure breaks down your year-end checklist—from required minimum distributions (RMDs) and Roth conversions to charitable giving and tax-loss harvesting.

Plus, Bank of America’s Shikha Narula, Head of Rewards, joins the show to discuss holiday travel strategies, maximizing credit card rewards, and using smart planning to make your trips more affordable.

For LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, this is the time to act—because every dollar saved and every tax break captured means more freedom and confidence in retirement.
