Retirement Rules You Don’t Have to Follow

Should you retire at 65, pay off your mortgage, move your investments to safety, or claim Social Security because that’s what everyone else seems to do? Not necessarily.

In this episode of Winning Retirement, Greg and Kristen explain why some of the most common retirement decisions shouldn’t be made simply because they’re considered “normal.” They discuss retiring before Medicare eligibility, balancing investment risk and income, deciding whether to pay off a mortgage, and choosing the right time to claim Social Security.

The takeaway: There’s no universal roadmap for retirement. The right strategy is the one built around your income needs, goals, taxes, lifestyle, and the future you actually want.
