You’ve done a great job managing your money, so why change anything now? That’s the question Phil’s tackling in this episode. As retirement approaches, decisions get more permanent, and the margin for error gets smaller. This conversation is about understanding how the game changes and what it looks like to have the right kind of support in place. Because doing well up to this point doesn’t guarantee the next phase will be just as simple.
