Taxes change. Your retirement still has to work.
On this episode of Watts on Wealth, Barry and Jeremy explain why taxes can’t be an afterthought in your plan. From Social Security becoming taxable to Medicare premiums creeping up, what you make isn’t what you actually get to spend.
And that leads to the real question: can you actually retire?
They break down the biggest reasons people can’t, overspending, debt, relying too heavily on Social Security, not saving enough, or underestimating what life after work really costs. It all comes back to one number: your “sitting-on-the-porch” number.
