Small &ldquo;dirty sponge&rdquo; mistakes can quietly turn into big retirement tax problems. From this past weekend&rsquo;s radio show, Mike Douglas breaks down how overlooked tax details&mdash;like RMDs, account coordination, and timing&mdash;can dramatically affect retirement income. Using relatable examples and real client scenarios, the conversation highlights why investments alone aren&rsquo;t enough and how taxes, lifestyle costs, and planning decisions intersect long before retirement begins. It&rsquo;s a practical discussion about awareness, preparation, and understanding what it truly costs to live your retirement the way you intend.
