What if the hardest part of retirement isn’t saving the money, but knowing how to use it?
In this episode, Jim Cipriotti walks through the often-overlooked challenge of turning retirement savings into a steady, sustainable income. The conversation explores how withdrawal decisions, tax timing, and account structure can influence how long assets last and how efficiently they’re accessed. Jim also explains why looking at income, taxes, and investments in isolation can create blind spots and how a more coordinated planning approach can bring clarity during retirement. Listeners will hear practical insights around income sequencing, tax-aware withdrawals, and the role of planning in navigating life’s transitions. This episode is designed to help retirees and pre-retirees better understand the moving pieces behind retirement income—and the questions worth asking before taking the first dollar out.
