There's an entire television network dedicated to doing things yourself — home renovation, landscaping, interior design, all of it. And the DIY mentality is genuinely admirable. But when it comes to retirement planning, Phil says that the stakes of a bad install are a little higher than a crooked backsplash. DIY has its place. But some projects are worth calling a professional, especially when the cost of getting it wrong follows you for the next thirty years.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

🛠️ DIY Pitfalls: Retirement involves more than choosing investments

⚖️ Professional Advice: Guidance can reveal overlooked planning opportunities

💵 Income Management: Retirement withdrawals require coordinated long-term decisions

💻 Technology Preferences: Available information does not guarantee clarity

💑 Spousal Differences: Both partners need confidence in the plan

🧭 Professional Guidance: Experience helps connect every retirement decision
