The thing about assassins in the real world is that they’re sneaky and you don’t see them coming. The same is true for the silent killers of your retirement plan. In this episode, Colin and Victor reveal the most dangerous “retirement assassins” that can quietly derail decades of planning if you’re not on guard.

From reacting emotionally during a market crash to ignoring inflation, higher taxes, long-term care, and even procrastination, each of these threats can undermine your peace of mind and financial security. Whether you’re five years away from retirement or already there, this episode will help you recognize the red flags, shift your mindset, and build a plan that keeps your retirement safe, sustainable, and truly happy.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

💥 Market reactions that destroy long-term returns

📈 Inflation’s slow and silent attack on your income

🧾 Why taxes in retirement may be higher than you think

🏥 The devastating cost of long-term care without a plan
