20/20 Money Episode #355 – Hidden gems in retirement planning: what practice owners might be missing after the sale with Taylor Schulte, CFP®

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Taylor Schulte, CFP®, host of the Stay Wealthy Retirement Show Podcast.

In this episode, we discuss the often-overlooked aspects of retirement planning, focusing on the importance of understanding blind spots, the need for purpose in retirement, and the role of community. We explore cash management strategies, the limitations of the 4% rule, and the benefits of flexible withdrawal strategies to ensure a successful transition into retirement. Our conversation emphasizes the need for intentional planning and the significance of having a solid foundation for financial decisions in retirement.
