Show Notes

This week on Retirement Results, Ford and Sam unpack four common habits that can quietly derail your retirement dreams — and what you can do to avoid them. From overspending to under-planning, the wrong moves today can cost you big in the future.

They also break down why private pensions (sometimes called personal pensions or FIAs) can be the Swiss Army knife of a retirement plan, offering flexibility, protection, and reliable income — without leaving your future up to chance.

✅ Four habits that could undermine your retirement success
✅ How to replace uncertainty with steady, reliable income
✅ Why a “personal pension” may be the missing piece in your plan

Retirement isn’t about guesswork — it’s about creating a smart plan that protects your lifestyle and gives you peace of mind. Tune in this week to learn how to build a strategy designed to last.
