Retirement isn't just about having enough money. It's about making the right decisions with everything you've spent decades building. In this episode, Joe walks through a simple five-point retirement planning checklist that every couple should review before retiring. From tax planning and investments to income, healthcare, and estate planning, each of these areas plays a critical role in helping you protect your retirement and avoid costly mistakes down the road. If you have a pension and significant retirement savings, your planning needs are often much different than the average retiree. That's why having a comprehensive strategy can make all the difference in keeping more of your hard-earned money and giving you confidence throughout retirement.
