About this episode

Jon Hicks discusses the impact of taxes on retirement income and the importance of tax planning.

Could taxes be the biggest expense in your retirement without you realizing it? Jon Hicks explains how the way your money is positioned—not just how much you’ve saved—can shape your retirement income. He breaks down the three tax buckets—taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free—and why balancing them matters over time. The conversation also highlights how income goals, spending habits, and legacy planning can influence tax strategies. If you’ve focused mainly on saving, this episode explores how tax planning may play a role in what you keep.   Schedule your complimentary appointment today: RetirementSolutionShow.com   Follow us on social media: YouTube | Facebook | LinkedIn See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
