Here’s how to avoid the traps. Having $5 million or more saved for retirement doesn’t mean you’re financially secure. Dave and Derek explain the biggest hidden threats facing high-net-worth portfolios today — from concentration risk in tech stocks, interest rate exposure, and RMD-driven taxes, to long-term-care expenses and Medicare surcharges. They break down why planning ahead matters even more at higher wealth levels, and how to protect your investments from forced selling and unnecessary tax drag. If you want to reduce stress in retirement, better manage income drawdowns, and keep more of your wealth working for you, this episode is a must-watch. 📩 Questions about your retirement plan?
