Episode description

Most retirement plans focus on returns—but the real threats come from blind spots. In this episode, we break down the four major risks that can derail retirement if left unaddressed:

  1. Market risk – How early losses and withdrawals can devastate even strong portfolios.

  2. Long-term care risk – The financial and emotional impact of unexpected care needs.

  3. Spousal risk – Why taxes often go up when a spouse passes away.

  4. Financial elder abuse – The growing threat few retirees see coming.

Learn how integrated planning—not products—can help protect against all four.
