After 15 years of medical training, a 32-year-old is finally hitting a massive salary. But with multiple retirement options like 403(b)s and non-governmental 457 plans, her father is worried about \"tying her hands\" too early. Scott and Richard explain why some retirement plans are actually \"traps\" for young high-earners and how to use the \"mega backdoor\" Roth to maximize flexibility. Case Study 2: The $1.1M Retirement Reality Check. A couple plans to retire next year with just over $1 million, but they’re facing $125k in immediate \"one-time\" expenses for a wedding and new vehicles. The duo discusses the \"4% Rule,\" the danger of \"confusing a bull market with brilliance,\" and why a 19% return today doesn't guarantee a stress-free tomorrow. The Philosophy of Work: Richard Del Monte shares his personal \"25-year plan\" at age 70 and discusses why the most successful people often choose engagement over a traditional retirement.
