The Financial Talks Every Couple Needs Before and During Retirement

Tax season has a way of exposing the details most people wish they’d caught sooner. In this episode, David Meche breaks down a practical tax‑season checklist and explains why filing taxes and actively planning for them are two very different things. The conversation explores how overlooked income sources, retirement accounts, Social Security, Medicare, and required distributions can quietly reshape your tax picture over time. David shares how proactive, forward‑looking planning can create clarity and coordination—especially for those approaching or living in retirement. If taxes feel overwhelming or reactive, this discussion reframes them as part of a much bigger financial picture.

Why Tax Season Feels So Stressful—and What Most People Miss

Annuities are selling at record levels—yet most people can’t explain what they actually are. In this episode of Your Retirement, David Meche tackles the confusion, misconceptions, and “bad rap” surrounding annuities and why they remain one of the most misunderstood tools in retirement planning. The discussion explores why annuities feel complex, when they may or may not fit into a portfolio, and how they’re often used to create predictable income alongside other retirement assets. Rather than focusing on products, the episode centers on asking better questions, understanding tradeoffs, and deciding whether an annuity belongs in your broader retirement strategy.
