The Retirement Reality Report

The Retirement Choices Most People Don’t Realize They Have

Assumptions feel harmless—until retirement puts them to the test. In this episode, Dylan and David Linsky break down the common beliefs people hold about longevity, expenses, taxes, inflation, and income planning, and why those assumptions often miss reality. The conversation explores why expenses can rise after work ends, how time gets spent differently in retirement, and why phase‑two planning requires a different approach than accumulation years. A practical discussion on replacing rigid rules and guesswork with planning that adapts as life changes.

The RMD Mistake That Catches Retirees Off Guard

Living longer changes everything about retirement—and many plans aren’t built to handle it. In this episode, Dylan and David Linsky explore how increased life expectancy reshapes retirement income, tax strategy, and long‑term care planning. The discussion walks through planning for multiple phases of retirement, managing income before and after Social Security, preparing for RMDs, and addressing the financial impact of extended care needs. It’s a practical conversation about longevity, flexibility, and why retirement planning can’t be treated as a single moment in time.
