Your 401(k) is Not a Plan

Think your 401(k) is the ultimate retirement plan? Think again! On this week’s Big Picture Retirement Show, Reid Abedeen and Mark Elliott dig deep into the toolbox of retirement—exposing why your accounts are just the starting point, not the masterplan. From funny golf stories and “silent assassins” (hello, inflation!) to real-talk about portfolio buffers, this episode draws the blueprint so you can build a retirement that actually fits your life—not someone else’s. But beware: Just like building a house, unexpected leaks and “uh-oh” moments are lurking around every corner. Reid unpacks how to guard against market downturns, healthcare curveballs, and those ever-changing variables that keep retirees up at night. Want to know the #1 mistake that even seasoned savers make—and a simple move to sidestep it? Hit play and discover why a customized plan (not just a pile of tools) is your real power move. Thinking about how Social Security and updated tax laws fit into your strategy? You’ll find clues here, but the full story is only a listen away!
