There’s an old saying: smart people learn from their own mistakes, but geniuses learn from the mistakes of others. Drawing from real conversations with families approaching retirement, the Hills explain why retiring “when it feels right” without a strategy can lead to stress, uncertainty, and missed opportunities. They also explore how unexpected job changes, early Social Security decisions, and overspending in the early years can quietly derail an otherwise solid financial picture. Investing like a genius means recognizing these warning signs now, while you still have the time and flexibility to do something about them.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

⏳ Why retiring too early (by choice or circumstance) can create long-term pressure 

🧠 The danger of making irreversible decisions without understanding the trade-offs 

🛑 How early Social Security or poor early spending can impact the entire plan

🗺️ Why the last 10 years before retirement offer the most planning leverage
