The Most Overlooked Retirement Decision (It's Not Your Portfolio)


Listen Later

One of the biggest decisions you'll make in your 70s and 80s has nothing to do with your portfolio.

It's not about Social Security timing. And it's not about Roth conversions.

It's about where you'll live and, more importantly, how care will be delivered, coordinated, and paid for if your health changes later on.

Most people think of this as a lifestyle decision.

But in reality, it's a housing-and-care decision, and it's one most retirement plans barely address.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the later-life housing choices most retirement savers haven't fully thought through.

Here's what you'll learn:

→ The four main housing options later in life—and how they differ in cost, care, and flexibility

→ What Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) actually are (+ a little-known tax planning tip)

→ The four types of risk every housing decision really involves

→ When this decision usually needs to be made, and what can happen if you wait too long

Because "we'll just stay in the house" isn't a plan...it's an assumption. And assumptions tend to get tested at the worst possible moment.
