What if the biggest retirement mistake isn’t running out of money, but running out of options? Sean Mason uses NFL star Josh Allen’s approach to planning for an uncertain future as a springboard to discuss flexibility in retirement. The conversation explores why freedom matters more than rigid financial roadmaps, how liquidity can help retirees adapt when life changes unexpectedly, and the balance between commitment and optionality in retirement planning. Sean also shares a real client story that highlights how a flexible plan helped navigate an earlier-than-expected retirement.
