He emphasizes the importance of tax strategies, stress-testing portfolios, and having a retirement income plan. Jeremy Zickefoose explains the concept of a "sitting on the porch" number to determine retirement income needs. They also discuss Social Security strategies, including claiming benefits at the right age and considering spousal benefits. Barry advises on managing required minimum distributions (RMDs) and the importance of life insurance for long-term care
