Are you losing sleep over your retirement plan? You’re not alone, and this episode breaks down the most common financial pain points keeping retirees up at night. Mark shares the five biggest fears he sees in his own practice, from outliving savings to the crushing cost of long-term care. But more importantly, he offers clear, realistic strategies to turn worry into confidence and overwhelm into action.

You’ll hear how longevity is the “risk multiplier” that makes everything else harder to plan for, and why early market losses can do more damage than people realize. Mark covers the importance of building income that keeps pace with inflation, reducing tax exposure over time, and preparing for potential long-term care needs. He also touches on the emotional side of retirement, what it’s like to leave behind a paycheck, and how building reliable income streams may help give you the financial stability you’re looking for.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• Avoiding running out of funds in retirement
• Smart tax planning = more money in your pocket
• How long-term care could drain your savings
• The fear of walking away from a steady paycheck
• How market crashes can hurt your retirement (and what to do about it)
