Your retirement savings may feel like they’re yours—but the rules say otherwise. In this episode of Empower Your Retirement, Frank and Frankie Guida unpack how taxes, required rules, and account structures can limit flexibility in retirement. Using a surprising Oscars analogy, the conversation explores IRAs, 401(k)s, Roth conversions, and why tax planning plays such a critical role as savings grow. The discussion focuses on understanding government rules, managing future tax exposure, and evaluating how different strategies can affect long-term retirement decisions.
