What happens to your income—and your taxes—when the paycheck stops in retirement? This episode breaks down how annuities are taxed, why account type matters, and how income streams can help close retirement gaps. Steve Aul explains the impact of pre-tax vs. after-tax dollars, challenges outdated financial rules, and highlights risks of relying too heavily on cash. The conversation also explores tax surprises when selling a home or business, plus key strategies for Social Security timing. It’s a practical look at balancing income, taxes, and long-term planning in today’s retirement landscape.
