“Rich” vs. “Wealthy” – There’s A Difference

Retirement mistakes don’t always come from bad intentions—they often come from using the wrong tools at the wrong time. In this episode, Brandon Bowen uses relatable travel stories and real client scenarios to highlight common retirement planning missteps, including staying too aggressive with investments, overspending early in retirement, delaying Social Security without context, and underestimating inflation. The discussion focuses on adjusting portfolios and income strategies as life changes, emphasizing the importance of aligning risk, income, and expectations with today’s stage of retirement—not the past.

Are You Still Using Retirement Tools Built for a Different Time?

A fresh breeze can reveal what’s been hiding—and the same can be true for your portfolio. In this episode, Brandon Bowen uses the idea of “spring cleaning” to explain why a portfolio review can uncover hidden risks, high costs, and overlapping investments. The conversation walks through what a portfolio X‑ray looks for, including risk exposure, investment fees, and redundancy across holdings. Listeners will hear how portfolios can quietly drift out of balance over time and why getting a clear picture matters most for those nearing or already in retirement.

What a Portfolio X Ray Can Reveal

A will alone may not protect the people you care about most. In this episode, Charleston’s Retirement Coach Brandon Bowen is joined by estate planning attorney Tripp Wiles to unpack how legacy planning really works—and where families often get tripped up. The conversation explores trusts, funding mistakes, blended‑family complications, and why estate planning is more than paperwork. Using real‑world examples, they explain how coordinating financial planning and legal strategy can help reduce conflict, confusion, and unintended outcomes for spouses, children, and grandchildren.
