Simplicity Blueprint

Interest rates can affect everything from borrowing costs to bond values and retirement income. But even investments considered “safe” can create challenges if rates change or income ends sooner than expected.

Retirement rules of thumb can be helpful, but they are not automatically right for every household.

This episode looks at how common retirement advice can lead to unnecessary taxes, hidden risk, or costly decisions when it is not coordinated around your income needs, assets, age, and family circumstances.

We also discuss why traditional and Roth retirement accounts each have a role to play—and why the right choice depends on more than a simple rule of thumb.
