Success in the New Retirement

There's No Magic Number

The conversation highlights why well‑meaning advice from friends can miss the bigger picture, how Social Security choices ripple through retirement, and why planning “the rest of the story” matters.

When Retirement Becomes a Solo Act

What if the tax decisions you make today quietly shape how flexible your retirement feels years from now? Damon Roberts and Matt Deaton unpack why Roth conversions aren’t one‑size‑fits‑all, even in a historically low tax environment. The conversation explores timing, income sources, Social Security taxation, and how unexpected expenses can expose gaps in tax planning. This episode highlights why tax efficiency is less about chasing “tax‑free” headlines and more about coordinating income, withdrawals, and long‑term flexibility in retirement.

The episode dives into common withdrawal mistakes, market volatility, and the psychology of spending in retirement.
