Many people head into retirement with assumptions that sound safe, but can quietly create real challenges later on. In this episode, Houston and Zack discuss retirement planning professionals unpack some of the most common misconceptions that can derail long‑term plans, from relying too heavily on market performance to underestimating taxes and inflation. The conversation explores different ways savings may be positioned to support ongoing income, why timing and strategy matter, and how volatility can affect retirees differently than those still working. You’ll also hear why personalized planning plays such an important role, especially as goals, risks, and resources vary from person to person. Whether retirement is approaching or already underway, this discussion encourages listeners to take a closer look at how their assumptions align with today’s realities.
