Today, we're dismantling the conventional wisdom around retirement planning—a topic that's critical to ensuring you don't just survive your retirement, but actually thrive in it. In this episode, I tackle why the common advice of aiming to replace 70-80% of your pre-retirement income might be setting you up for disappointment.
