What happens when unexpected expenses or hidden retirement risks derail your financial plan? On this episode, David Gagnan explores why emergency funds, flexible liquidity tools like HELOCs, and detailed income planning are essential for long-term stability. He breaks down how to separate essential, lifestyle, and surprise expenses, identify income gaps, and stress test a retirement plan against risks like inflation, healthcare costs, and market volatility. The conversation also challenges traditional reliance on 401(k)s, highlighting the need for a strategy that turns savings into dependable income. Help Protect, Preserve, and Expand Your Wealth TODAY!
