Summary
Many people spend decades building a solid retirement nest egg only to discover that savings alone don't guarantee security. Hidden obstacles like rising taxes, healthcare costs, market volatility, and poorly structured income plans can quietly derail even well-funded retirements. In this episode, Eric Heckman breaks down the most common risks retirees overlook and explains why having money isn't the same as having a plan. You'll learn how taxes often become the single biggest expense in retirement, why income planning matters more than account balances, and how simple structural decisions can dramatically improve long-term outcomes. This conversation focuses on proactive planning, not guesswork, so you can protect what you've worked so hard to build.
