Emotional Investing, Tax-deferred Traps, and Outdated Retirement Myths (Episode 13)

Discover how the Three Dimensions of Authentic Wealth—Foundational, Intellectual, and Financial—can help you build a secure retirement and lasting legacy. In this episode, Doug Andrew and his team reveal how emotional investing, tax-deferred traps, and outdated retirement myths can sabotage your future. Learn why most retirees aren't in lower tax brackets—and how market volatility, lost deductions, and Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) can trigger surprise tax bills.

Uncover the truth about precious metals and why they're often a fear-based distraction. Instead, explore how a properly structured, max-funded Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy offers tax-free growth, access, and transfer—all while keeping you protected from market losses.
