About this listen

 This special holiday episode, aptly titled "A Christmas Guide to Retirement," focused on the core principles for creating a peaceful and secure retirement. Rocco Kryns, president of Wisdom Financial Services, discussed why true financial peace comes not just from the size of your nest egg, but from building a plan that ensures steady, reliable income throughout retirement. Listeners were encouraged to check their financial lists twice—just like Santa—to cover essential items such as monthly expenses, where income will come from, and which parts of that income are guaranteed. The show emphasized the importance of reviewing portfolios before year-end to catch opportunities for things like tax loss harvesting, rebalancing, and minimizing taxes, all to help retirees avoid anxiety and instead enjoy clarity and confidence moving into the next chapter of life.

Drawing inspiration from "A Christmas Carol," Rocco guided listeners through the “ghosts” of retirement past, present, and future—underscoring the value of learning from previous financial choices, making strategic adjustments today, and setting clear intentions for leaving a legacy. Practical advice included maximizing account purpose, using a mix of retirement vehicles, and tools like annuities and health savings accounts for future income and long-term care. The episode also featured answers to listeners' questions about Medicare, long-term care, gifting, and legacy planning, repeatedly reinforcing that the best gift retirees can give themselves and their families is a well-constructed plan.
