If you’re a Florida public employee, the decisions you make before retirement can carry six‑ or seven‑figure consequences. In this episode of the Florida Retirement Podcast, Murrell Winter breaks down how the DROP program and the Florida Retirement System intersect with income planning, health care costs, taxes, and long‑term stability. The discussion highlights common missteps, recent program changes, and considerations that can dramatically alter retirement outcomes for teachers, law enforcement, and government workers. Murrell also explains how pensions, Social Security timing, and benefit coordination factor into a sustainable retirement picture – and why emotional decisions near retirement can be especially costly.
