What if it’s not just how much you earn in retirement, but when you earn it, that makes all the difference? In this episode of Make It Personal, we dive into a critical but often overlooked challenge in retirement planning: Sequence of Returns Risk. Through the real-life stories of Linda and James, two retirees with similar savings and returns, but drastically different outcomes, we explore how timing can either protect or derail your financial future.

What if your greatest financial breakthrough doesn’t start with more money, but with a better plan?

Their house was tight, their budget tighter, and their dreams felt just out of reach. But with the right mindset and the right steps, they turned things around, not by winning the lottery, but by building a plan grounded in clarity, protection, and creativity.
