The conversation explores timing retirement planning, market risk near retirement, and the importance of proving decisions with numbers instead of reassurance. Using real-world examples, they discuss why planning five to seven years ahead matters and how clear projections help retirees understand trends, manage uncertainty, and make informed choices about spending and gifting over time.
