Show Notes

This week on the Retirement Income for Life Show, Doug Vincent walks listeners through a comprehensive retirement readiness checkup, covering the financial decisions that can make the biggest difference before you leave the workforce.

Doug discusses 12 essential retirement planning steps, including maximizing catch-up contributions, eliminating debt, preparing for healthcare expenses, building reliable retirement income, and creating a tax-efficient withdrawal strategy. He also explains why a larger projected Social Security COLA for 2027 isn't necessarily good news, what to do with forgotten 401(k) accounts, and how new federally backed savings accounts could help the next generation build wealth.

Whether retirement is one year away or still a decade down the road, this episode offers practical guidance to help you prepare with confidence.
