Discover how your dependable 401(k) might turn into a double-edged sword as you approach the golden years of retirement. Our latest episode peels back the curtain on the hidden risks of these retirement plans, especially when you hit the age of 60. We're bringing to light insights from the critical research of Michael Kitces and Dr. Wade Pfau, who argue for the importance of investment returns in the decade surrounding retirement. Weaving in personal narratives, including my father's own story during the 2008 financial crisis, this episode is a treasure trove of information on how to protect your hard-earned nest egg.

The simplicity of target date funds has captivated many, but what lies beneath this convenient investment choice?
