Episode 116: "Once You Decide, It's Done. The Retirement Moves That Lock in Your Future"

Most retirement decisions feel routine in the moment. A few of them change everything.In this episode, we walk through the retirement moves that don't come with a do-over, starting with the Social Security timing question nearly every pre-retiree faces. We also cover the life insurance mistakes that quietly derail retirement plans, from letting policies lapse to skipping beneficiary reviews, and why talking openly with your family about money isn't optional anymore.The conversation goes deeper into the psychology of retirement — how your upbringing shapes your financial behavior, why high-net-worth retirees sometimes struggle the most with spending, and how the path to building wealth differs from inheriting it. We close with listener questions on family property, the growing role of AI in financial planning, and a simple rule for knowing if you're saving enough.Once you decide, it's done. This episode will help you decide well.Chapters00:00 IntroShould You Take Social Security at 62?02:15 Reasons to take it now08:20 Reasons why you should waitLife Insurance Mistakes in Retirement14:35 Reasons to keep your Life Insurance policy17:30 Mistake: Allowing your policy to lapse 20:15 Mistake: Not letting your family know you have a policy23:00 Check your beneficiaries for all your accounts25:10 Tell the truth on your life insurance policy re: hobbies & habitsHow Your Money Mindset Affects Retirement28:40 How our view of money is created30:10 Depression mindset in retirement34:30 Making the wealth vs. Inheriting the wealth36:25 Learning to talk about moneyListener E-Mails39:45 Inheriting family property options44:00 Financial Planning & AI47:20 What’s a good rule for savings for retirement?Ready to plan your retirement?
