Retirement has a way of sneaking up on you faster than expected. In this episode, Steve Standley explains why waiting to plan—or trying to figure it out later—can limit options when retirement is suddenly closer than it looks. The discussion covers procrastination pitfalls, the importance of saving habits, Social Security timing misconceptions, and how today’s retirement reality differs from past generations. Steve also highlights why relying on Social Security alone is risky and why personal assets now play the biggest role. It’s a practical conversation about preparation, timing, and making informed decisions before retirement choices become urgent.
