Scaling Your Business and Wealth PodcastHost: Eric Tashlein, CFP®, CEPA®Episode Summary: The 3 Worst Retirement Mistakes I See All the TimeMost retirement mistakes aren't caused by bad investments. They're caused by bad timing.In this episode, Eric Tashlein discusses three common retirement planning mistakes that can quietly impact long-term financial success: assuming taxes will naturally decrease in retirement, underspending out of fear of running out of money, and maintaining the same investment strategy used during the accumulation years.Eric explains why retirement requires a different approach to taxes, income, spending, and portfolio management, and why avoiding these common blind spots can have a greater impact than chasing higher returns.Key Takeaways:• Retirement taxes often change, not disappear.• Fear of running out of money can lead to unnecessary underspending.• Retirement portfolios require a different strategy than accumulation portfolios.• Sequence of returns risk becomes increasingly important once withdrawals begin.• Successful retirement planning is often about avoiding costly mistakes.Core Message:A successful retirement is built through thoughtful planning, smart timing, and avoiding the mistakes that can reduce flexibility later in life.Connect with Eric Tashlein, CFP®, CEPA®:📞 203-350-4050🌐 OES Wealth Partners: https://www.oeswealthpartners.com/🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-a-tashlein/Disclosure:Securities are offered through Registered Representatives of Cambridge Investment Research, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.
