What you need to know before retiring

Welcome to another transformative episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show. Are you worried about the biggest financial missteps you might make as you approach retirement? Many believe it's about running out of money, but I'm here to tell you that the real threat lurks beneath the surface — hidden risks that could deplete your wealth just when you need it most.

No matter your age or life stage — 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond — it's vital to plan forward to ensure your money outlives you while supporting a life filled with choice and freedom. This episode is packed with essential steps to retire with confidence, identify unseen financial pitfalls, and safeguard your golden years against unexpected surprises.

Today, I'm guiding you through the necessity of having a dynamic and detailed retirement plan, why the 4% rule can be a foundational element if you're lacking a plan, and how to estimate your lifestyle costs. I'll lead you through the asset allocation maze and explain why healthcare and unexpected costs could be your biggest dangers if ignored.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Creating a dynamic and detailed retirement plan
• Utilizing the 4% rule from the Trinity study
• Preparing for overwhelming medical costs and planning for long-term care
• The critical component of estate planning to protect your legacy and provide peace of mind
• Recognizing the psychological shifts in retirement and finding sustained purpose
