Retirement planning doesn’t have to be overwhelmingly complicated. It certainly doesn’t have to be as complicated as some people make it. In this episode, we unravel the unnecessary complexities often woven into the fabric of retirement advice. We’ll debunk some myths, simplify strategies, and uncover the beauty of simplicity and straightforward retirement planning.

One of the key takeaways from the episode is the importance of having a clear plan. Frank advises starting with basic questions like, "When do you want to retire?" and "What are your financial goals?" These simple questions lay the foundation for a more detailed plan.

Stay tuned until the end of the episode, where we get to know Frank better through the question, “What job would you least want to have?” Then, he’ll answer a listener question from Joseph, who asks whether he should proceed with rolling over his old 401(k) into a new account or hold off.
