Most people think retirement plans fail because of the market, taxes, or not saving enough. Those are big - but not the real reason most plans quietly fall apart.
In this episode, Dr. Preston Cherry (Financial Planning Ph.D., CFP®, Top 10 Investopedia Advisor, and Founder of Concurrent Wealth Management) reveals the real breakdown point in most life and retirement plans: misalignment.
When your money no longer supports your actual life - your values, time, and energy - everything starts to fray. You’re doing all the “responsible” things, but feeling stuck in decision fatigue and endless money tweaks that never feel done.
This episode shows you how to re-center your plan using Clarity, Confidence, Cadence, and Control - and introduces the 90-second reset that’s already helped dozens of Gen X professionals feel peace around money again.
If you’re juggling careers, kids, aging parents, and still trying to “optimize” retirement in the background - this one’s for you.
