Financial media loves simple answers: always do this or never do that. But real financial planning doesn’t work that way. Most of the biggest decisions people face in retirement live in the gray. Scott pulls back the curtain on the sensational advice dominating YouTube and financial media. Instead of chasing rigid rules, he explains why thoughtful coordination across multiple planning areas produces better outcomes.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

💸 Roth Conversions: Context matters more than slogans

📈 Social Security Timing: Optimization vs. maximization

🏡 Paying Off the House: Emotional security vs. liquidity

🎯 Advisor or DIY: Complexity determines the answer

💰 Inheritance Decisions: Intentional legacy vs. lifestyle flexibility
