Most people assume more money means less stress in retirement. But for many retirees, building a larger nest egg can actually create more complexity, especially when taxes, RMDs, inherited IRAs, Medicare surcharges, and long-term income planning all start colliding.

In this episode, the team breaks down why retirement can get harder around the $3 million mark and why the real issue is not just wealth, but how that wealth is taxed, distributed, and passed on. They also explain why focusing only on this year’s tax bill can lead to much bigger problems later.

If you want to better understand retirement income, tax strategy, dividend investing, and the long-term impact of RMDs, this conversation is packed with practical insight.
