Host Curtis James breaks down why unanticipated "client splurges" and inflating retirement budgets can derail a 30-year plan faster than a Wall Street dip. He unpacks the pitfalls of over-relying on standard 401(k) target-date funds, the hidden tax traps of Roth conversions, and why the traditional 60/40 portfolio is no longer safe. Discover how a custom retirement roadmap can transform your savings into a reliable lifetime income stream.
