Show Notes

This week on Retirement Results, Ford & Sam tackle one of the most important and often overlooked questions facing pre-retirees today: are you taking too much risk as you approach retirement?

They explain why now – with markets at or near all-time highs – may be the perfect time to protect your gains, rebalance your portfolio, and focus on income stability. The conversation also covers what it really means to “keep more of what you earn,” and how a comprehensive retirement plan can help you transition smoothly and confidently into your next chapter.

✅ How to tell if your portfolio has too much risk and internal fees
✅ Why “it’s not what you make, it’s what you keep” truly matters for retirees
✅ The checklist for a smooth transition into your golden years
