These 3 Wealth Myths That You May Have Missed May Be The Costliest…

Navigating an Abundant Retirement with Carol Dewey

In this episode of Navigating an Abundant Retirement, host Carol Dewey continues the discussion on the 12 little-known wealth myths. In part two, Carol explores myths seven through nine, shedding light on how these misconceptions can negatively impact retirement planning. She emphasizes the importance of understanding these myths to avoid costly mistakes and outlines a path to a 120% retirement lifestyle.

Key Takeaways:

• Wealth Myth #7: The 80% reduced retirement lifestyle myth can lead to a life of lower standards if followed. Retirement should be about abundance, not reducing your lifestyle.
• Wealth Myth #8: The 401(k) binge myth encourages excessive or uncontrolled indulgence in 401(k) plans, potentially leading to higher taxes and lost capital gains benefits.
• Wealth Myth #9: The lower tax bracket later myth is based on the false assumption that you will always be in a lower tax bracket in retirement. Rising federal debt might lead to increased tax rates, impacting retirees' financial security.

Quotes:

• "Retirement should be a life of more than enough. I believe you should retire 120%."
• "Every unnecessary dollar you surrender to the IRS needlessly is one less dollar you have for your lifestyle and your legacy."
