Most retirees are aiming for the wrong finish line, and they don’t realize it until it’s too late. This episode explores how misjudging life expectancy can derail retirement plans, especially for those going it alone. The discussion highlights common DIY mistakes, from underestimating healthcare costs to misunderstanding income planning and taxes. It also examines the risks of “fantasy timelines,” relying solely on savings, and managing too many overlapping accounts. The conversation emphasizes the importance of turning savings into sustainable income and maintaining a clear, focused strategy. A closer look at portfolio “spring cleaning” reveals how simplifying accounts and eliminating inefficiencies can improve clarity and control as retirement approaches.
