We all know there are things in life you probably shouldn’t trust, like gas station sushi or an email from a Nigerian prince. But the same principle applies in retirement planning. Sometimes what looks safe, easy, or even “guaranteed” isn’t so trustworthy when you peel back the layers. In this episode, Nathan highlights the financial versions of gas station sushi, the too-good-to-be-true ideas that can leave your retirement in ruins.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

🍣 Gas station sushi = flashy promises that often hide real risks

📉 Market timing schemes and why “fail-proof systems” rarely work long-term

💸 Spotting hidden costs in financial products, even when they make “no fee” claim

🎬 Celebrity & influencer hype: “Follows” and “Likes” do not equate to good advice
