## Resource

Retirement planning is about far more than picking investments, and this episode of the Retire Sooner Podcast shows just how many moving pieces may shape your financial life over time. Join Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase for a fast-moving conversation covering retirement income planning, tax strategy, dividend investing, market volatility, and the potential value of working with a fiduciary, fee-only advisor. • Compare fiduciary advisors and non-fiduciary advisors through a simple “orange pepper” analogy. • Explore how tax planning, behavioral coaching, retirement forecasting, and portfolio strategy may work together in long-term financial planning. • Evaluate real estate decisions, business transitions, and career planning during peak earning years and retirement. • Review dividend investing, ETF selection, cash reserves, and sequence-of-returns risk considerations for retirees and near-retirees. • Organize retirement rollovers, trusts, pensions, and tax records with greater clarity and flexibility. Whether you’re building a retirement plan or fine-tuning an existing strategy, this episode delivers practical financial conversations grounded in long-term thinking and real-life investor questions.
