Most retirement mistakes happen long before retirement begins, and many people don't realize it until their options become limited. In this episode of Your Retirement, Your Story, Lawrence Olivier and Redd Sessions discuss the costly mistakes they see most often as people approach retirement. From overlooking tax planning and Roth conversion opportunities to misunderstanding Social Security, required minimum distributions, market risk, and long-term care costs, they explain why preparation matters years before retirement arrives. The conversation also explores the importance of planning for inflation, building sustainable income, and avoiding financial blind spots that can quietly undermine a retirement strategy. Retirement success isn't about luck. It's about recognizing opportunities while there's still time to act.
