What if the inheritance you’re counting on never arrives? In this episode, Ethan discusses why retirement plans should be built around your own resources, not future expectations. He explores the importance of proactive tax planning, how family conversations about estate planning can prevent confusion, and why retirees should feel comfortable enjoying the money they worked hard to earn. The conversation also covers sudden windfalls, common mistakes people make when receiving large sums of money, and why every financial decision should fit into a broader, personalized retirement strategy.
