Most "Top 10 Mistakes You're Making in Retirement" articles are vague, mostly common sense, and of little use to their readers. And when you read these articles, you have to consider the source.

I wanted to share mistakes that I see every single day working in my firm—mistakes that you won't find in most articles. 90% of our clients are 55 and older working toward their dream retirement. I've seen it all. So in this episode of the Retirement Made Easy Podcast, I'll cover 10 retirement planning mistakes you need to think about.
