In this episode, Shawn discusses:

• The need for comprehensive retirement planning
• The changing nature of retirement benefits
• Managing risks in retirement
• Planning for healthcare in retirement

Key Takeaways:

• Merely having retirement accounts like a 401(k) or IRA is not enough; it is crucial to develop a comprehensive plan that includes a well-thought-out drawdown strategy to ensure you don't outlive your savings and maintain financial stability throughout retirement.
• As the availability of company-sponsored pensions decreases, individuals must take greater responsibility for their retirement by starting to save early, carefully managing investments, and planning for a retirement that could span several decades.
• Successfully navigating retirement requires a proactive approach to managing six key risks—market risk, taxation risk, inflation risk, withdrawal risk, sequence of returns risk, and longevity risk—each of which can significantly impact the sustainability of your retirement income.
• Factoring in the potential costs of healthcare and long-term care is essential when planning for retirement, as these expenses can be substantial, unpredictable, and have a major impact on your financial resources over time.
