IRA Rules You Can’t Afford to Ignore

What if the biggest factor shaping your retirement isn’t the market—but your mindset?
In this episode of Retirement Readiness, Bridget Engstrom explores how behavioral finance influences the decisions people make as they prepare for life after work. She introduces the ideas of being “anchored” and “rooted” in financial planning, explaining how emotions, habits, and past experiences often guide choices just as much as numbers do. Bridget also discusses why retirement planning extends beyond dollars and dates, touching on social connections, personal fulfillment, and long-term well-being. The conversation highlights core considerations such as defining a personal retirement number and thinking through longevity risks, helping frame retirement as a multidimensional life transition rather than a single financial event.

The conversation explores why de‑accumulation planning deserves as much attention as saving, and how healthcare costs and longevity risk factor into long-term decisions. Listeners will hear how thoughtful coordination, rather than isolated choices, shapes retirement income strategy, and why planning for uncertainty is a core part of retirement readiness. This episode reframes retirement as an ongoing process that demands structure, clarity, and informed decision‑making.
