Summary

You can’t plan a great retirement if you haven’t first planned what you’re retiring to. In this episode, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug open up Retirement Week in the basement with a Monday that’s equal parts insight, weekend recap, and questionable vehicle decisions. 🚪 Start with the most overlooked part of retirement: your lifestyle vision. What are you actually going to do all day—and will it make you happy? 📊 Then they dive into financial strategy, from coordinating pre-tax, Roth, and taxable funds to dodging sneaky IRMAA fees that show up like glitter—impossible to get rid of and oddly expensive. 🏎️ Thinking about a new car? Joe and Doug wrestle with the age-old question: maintain or upgrade, and how your answer could affect your wallet (and maybe your driveway credibility). 💼 Curious about investment leverage? Meet Basic Capital—a platform that might sound like a good idea… until it doesn’t. Joe and OG explain when leverage can help—and when it’s just risk in a tuxedo. 🎧 Plus: Saluting the troops What not to do when your retirement plan involves TikTok A sneak peek at the Nerdy Round Table And entertainment recs to round out your week like a pro Start your week smarter and get a little closer to a retirement you actually want.
