Most retirees spend years preparing for market volatility and inflation—but what about the financial risks that often catch families completely off guard?

In this episode, Doug Vincent explores four critical areas that deserve far more attention than they typically receive. He explains why long-term care can become one of retirement's biggest financial wild cards, how today's life insurance policies can provide benefits while you're still living, the costly Medicare myths that continue to trip up retirees, and why an outdated beneficiary designation can override even a carefully written will.

If you're approaching retirement—or already there—this episode offers practical guidance to help protect your income, your family, and the legacy you've worked so hard to build.
