I share a comparison between two individuals, Margin and Gene, who, despite similar savings and returns, ended up with significantly different retirement outcomes due to their tax strategies. I emphasize that a tax-first approach can lead to substantial savings, as demonstrated by a couple we worked with who had 80% of their savings in tax-deferred accounts. If you&apos;re within ten years of retirement and want clarity on your income strategy, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with me to explore how we can optimize your retirement plan.</description></oembed>
