Are you confident you’re truly maximizing your retirement account contributions or could small decisions today be limiting your flexibility tomorrow?

Many high-earning families contribute consistently to their retirement accounts, yet still miss opportunities to improve tax efficiency, increase long-term flexibility, and better align contributions with their broader financial plan. In this episode, Josh breaks down how to maximize retirement contributions in a way that is intentional, sustainable, and tax-aware.

You’ll learn how to prioritize retirement accounts strategically, why contribution limits alone should not dictate your strategy, how tax diversification plays a critical role in retirement income planning, and why higher-income households must move beyond one-size-fits-all advice.

Josh also covers commonly overlooked opportunities and the real limiting factor most families face: cash flow. Maximizing contributions is not about perfection—it’s about making informed decisions that compound over time.

Planning for retirement is one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make, yet even smart, disciplined families fall into avoidable traps. In this video, we break down the top five retirement planning pitfalls that derail long-term financial independence and peace of mind.

You’ll learn why guessing at your “retirement number” leads to overspending, how retiring too early without a distribution plan can drain your portfolio, why longevity risk magnifies every other financial risk you face.

We also unpack the tax mistakes many households overlook—especially when managing withdrawals across taxable, tax-deferred, and Roth accounts. And finally, we address one of the most underestimated issues: entering retirement without a clear sense of purpose.
