You spent decades saving, investing, and building your retirement nest egg. But what if a large portion of that money isn't actually yours?

In this episode of Planning Made Simple, Paul, Kyle, and the team uncover one of the biggest retirement planning blind spots: taxes. From Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) to the hidden tax snowball that can grow throughout retirement, they explain why many retirees unknowingly face larger tax bills than expected and what can be done years before retirement to prepare.
