In this episode of The Financial Safari, Coach Pete discusses and debunks common bad financial advice. He emphasizes the importance of planning for taxes in retirement, not assuming that spending will decrease in retirement, avoiding dipping into retirement accounts for emergencies, understanding that a million dollars may not be enough to retire comfortably, and not relying solely on the 60-40 stock-bond blueprint for asset allocation.

The Emergency Savings Plan to protect your retirement!

Coach Pete breaks down the real retirement problem nobody wants to admit: you’ve got a big “lump sum” on paper, but no clear way to turn it into reliable income you can’t outlive. He also goes hunting “financial termites” like fees, commissions, and too much risk — including a blunt warning about non-traded REITs where “up to 15%” can disappear in commissions right away. This episode also hits business-owner mistakes with CFP Sheridan Murphy — separating personal wealth from the business “baby,” building a real exit plan, and getting proactive on taxes instead of playing catch-up in February!

The “Financial Termites” Eating Your Retirement — And the Simple Fix Most People Miss

Coach Pete kicks things off like a jungle guide with a microphone, breaking down a wild week where silver cratered in one brutal swoop, crypto took another gut-punch, and “buy-back games” in precious metals left regular folks holding the bag. Then he gets fired up about non-traded REITs—the “safe” real estate pitches with big commissions, locked-up money, and even bankruptcy headlines—and tells listeners straight: “Whose retirement are you funding… yours or your broker’s?” It’s fast, blunt, and packed with real talk on staying in control of your money instead of letting the headlines (or a salesperson) control you!
