How do the ultra-wealthy actually plan for retirement? In this episode, CPA and retirement risk advisor Dave Hall reveals 6 things the ultra-wealthy do differently in their retirement and wealth planning — and how you can apply the same strategies to protect your own retirement.

Drawing on years of experience as a CPA working directly with billionaires and high-net-worth individuals on tax planning, Dave breaks down the pattern he saw again and again: the ultra-wealthy aren't smarter or luckier with money — they're following a different system than most Americans ever get access to.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- Why the ultra-wealthy focus on outcomes, not just financial products
- How "family office" style coordination between advisors leads to better retirement outcomes
- Why they obsess over taxes — and why taxes may be the single largest expense of your retirement
- The difference between liquidity and safety, and why chasing one without the other can quietly cost you
- Why they think in generations instead of planning only for themselves
- Why they build a complete retirement system instead of just a portfolio

Whether you're already retired or getting ready for retirement, these six shifts can help you avoid the irreversible mistakes that quietly derail retirement plans in the second and third decades of retirement — long after most people think they're in the clear.
