The Retirement Pitfalls You Didn’t See Coming

Most people think retirement planning is all about their investments. But what if focusing only on your portfolio is actually one of the biggest mistakes you can make? In this episode, Tad, Toni, and Tyler uncover the most common retirement pitfalls that trip people up: from outliving your money to unexpected healthcare costs, rising taxes, inflation, and more.

You’ll hear why even a well-balanced investment portfolio can fall short without a plan for income, healthcare, and tax efficiency. The team explains their 5-part retirement planning process and why asking “What should I invest in?” is the wrong place to start. Instead, you’ll learn how to think through what you really want retirement to look like, and how to build a plan that actually supports that vision.
