Most people think they’re “getting ready” for retirement between ages 60 and 67.
In reality, this is when many retirees quietly sabotage their entire plan.
In this episode, I break down 9 common purchases people make before age 62 that seem smart—but actually destroy flexibility, increase taxes, and cost tens of thousands of dollars over time .
You’ll learn:
Why the 60–67 window is the most tax-sensitive period of your entire financial life
How early annuities, insurance, renovations, and debt payoffs can backfire
The hidden impact these decisions have on Roth conversions, ACA subsidies, IRMAA, and Social Security timing
Real client examples where “good intentions” led to massive opportunity loss
What you should spend money on instead during the Retirement Red Zone
This episode is especially important if you’re within 5–7 years of retirement and want to protect your income, lower lifetime taxes, and stay in control—without locking yourself into irreversible decisions.
