## Resource

Retirement planning doesn’t always follow a straight line, and this episode of the Retire Sooner Podcast tackles the pressing money decisions families are talking about. Join Wes Moss and guest host Mallory Boggs for a lively conversation about helping adult children buy homes, Roth conversions, Social Security timing, investing, taxes, and the lifestyle choices often associated with a happy retirement. • Explore the financial and emotional tradeoffs that may come with helping adult children buy a home while still protecting your own retirement goals. • Examine how higher home prices, rising mortgage rates, and ongoing family support may help shape retirement planning and financial flexibility. • Evaluate Roth conversions, Social Security claiming strategies, IRA withdrawals, and HELOC financing through the lens of taxes and long-term retirement income planning. • Reconsider how spending on travel, family experiences, health, hobbies, and social connections may play a role in retirement satisfaction. • Assess portfolio diversification considerations beyond concentrated “Magnificent 7” exposure while tackling listener questions on IRAs, emergency funds, taxable accounts, and retirement investing.
