In this episode, Mike Riedmiller breaks down how recent tax law changes, market volatility, and shifting economic signals are colliding with real-life retirement decisions. From using refunds strategically, to balancing risk when markets feel unpredictable, to avoiding future tax traps hidden inside traditional IRAs, the conversation focuses on practical planning choices many retirees and pre-retirees overlook. It’s a wide-ranging look at how taxes, investments, and long-term planning intersect in today’s uncertain financial landscape.
