Episode 130: "Your Emotions Are the Biggest Threat to Your Retirement"

What if the biggest risk to your retirement isn't the market - it's YOU? This week we're unpacking the emotional side of money. Using the lens of Disneyland's most iconic rides, we walk through how the highs and lows of investing feel a lot like a theme park and why letting those feelings drive your decisions can cost you big. 🎢 We get real about how the media is designed to trigger your emotions, why you're probably not as risk tolerant as you think you are, and how fear and overconfidence quietly wreak havoc on retirement portfolios every single day. Then we shift to the tax mistakes that catch retirees off guard, from RMD missteps to Roth conversion blunders, and take on real listener questions about downsizing, job loss near retirement, and whether spreading money across multiple banks actually makes sense. Your retirement deserves more than a gut reaction. Buckle up, stay seated, and let's take the ride together. 🎡 Ready to plan your retirement?

Episode 126: Bad Advice, Fear & Panic: Why People Get Retirement All Wrong"

The people in your life who give you financial advice usually mean well, but good intentions don't always lead to good outcomes. In this episode, Tom breaks down why the retirement advice you're getting from family members and even trusted financial professionals like CPAs could actually be working against you. What works for your brother, your neighbor, or your colleague may not work for you. Social Security, taxes, and retirement look different for everyone, and a one-size-fits-all approach can cost you dearly. Tom also explores why adaptability is one of the most underrated retirement skills and takes a deep dive into the emotional rollercoaster of market swings, from fear and panic, to greed, anger, and ignorance. If you want a retirement strategy built around your life, not someone else's, this episode is for you.
