Retirement planning isn’t just about growing your nest egg, it’s about making your money last as long as you do. In this episode, Tyler and Toni break down some of the most common mistakes people make heading into retirement and how to avoid them. From starting Social Security too early to focusing too much on returns instead of income, they walk through what really matters when the paycheck stops.

You’ll also hear why rules of thumb often fall short, how to build a plan that fits your life—not your neighbor’s—and how to create income that lasts decades, not just years. Tune in as we unravel some of the confusion around these topics and offer a smarter way to think about retirement.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:
