3 Common Mistakes People Forget When Retiring Early

How can you ensure a secure and organized retirement plan without falling into common financial traps? In this episode, we promise to equip you with essential strategies that will help you avoid costly mistakes and make the most of your retirement savings. We'll discuss the importance of personalized financial planning and share the risks of mindlessly following others' investment moves, even if you're simply relying on your 401k. Listener Steve McCord offers a heartwarming reminder of the value in scrutinizing your financial plans, regardless of your net worth. 

We'll tackle the intricacies of Roth conversions and the pivotal role of tailored advice in your retirement strategy. Hear a real client story about why blindly filling up tax brackets through Roth conversions might not always be the best move, especially if you have significant assets from a business sale. We also examine the potential downsides of long-term care insurance and propose an alternative: self-funding your future care to ease financial anxiety. Whether you're amassing substantial assets or just beginning to think about retirement, our actionable advice will help you steer clear of common pitfalls and ensure a stress-free retirement.
