The biggest retirement mistakes often come from the small financial details people overlook today. In this episode, Matt Eilers explains how “hidden risks” like required minimum distributions, tax planning gaps, and excess market exposure can create bigger challenges later in retirement. The conversation highlights why avoiding major missteps—rather than chasing perfect outcomes—can shape long-term financial stability. Matt also discusses how proactive planning, from managing taxes to adjusting risk, can help reduce surprises and keep retirement strategies aligned with changing conditions.
