In this episode of Take Pride in Retirement, I tackle one of the biggest mistakes I see retirees make—letting emotions drive their investment decisions. When the world feels chaotic and markets swing like a roller coaster, it’s human nature to react. But emotional investing is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make in retirement—especially for LGBTQ+ retirees, who often lack the traditional financial and family support systems others rely on.

I’ll show you exactly how a skilled advisor helps you stay disciplined, avoid costly mistakes, and build a retirement plan that’s structured, strategic, and built for the long haul.
