Could a hidden retirement expense cost more than many people expect?

This episode of Smart Tax Talk explores the real costs that can impact retirement, from rising healthcare expenses and Medicare planning to managing market volatility and generating reliable income. John Blanchard explains why keeping large amounts of cash idle may create missed opportunities, how retirees can structure portfolios for different goals and time horizons, and what high-income earners should know about proactive tax planning before year-end. The conversation also covers longevity planning, retirement income strategies, and the importance of coordinating financial, tax, and healthcare decisions as part of a comprehensive retirement plan.
