Why Saving for Retirement Isn’t Enough Anymore (Ep. 35)

Listen Later

You spent decades saving for retirement, but what if the biggest risk is not how much you saved, but how you use it?

In this episode, Ryan Thacker and Tyson Thacker break down what they see most people get wrong about retirement planning, especially in the critical years right before and after retirement. They explain why saving money and planning for retirement are two very different things, and how small, uncoordinated decisions around taxes, Social Security, investments, and healthcare can quietly erode your wealth over time.

Ryan and Tyson discuss:

  • Why the retirement red zone is where small mistakes become costly
  • How taxes act as a ripple effect across Social Security, Medicare, and income
  • Why over 90 percent of Americans file for Social Security the wrong way
  • The danger of taking too many risks late in your career
  • How healthcare costs can derail even well-funded retirements
  • Why coordinated planning matters more than chasing investment returns
  • And more
