Umbrella insurance isn't usually the first thing people think about when they picture retirement planning.
Most conversations focus on saving enough, investing well, reducing taxes, and creating income.
But in retirement, one unintentional accident can create a very different kind of risk.
Not just a temporary setback, but a threat to savings you may no longer have decades to rebuild.
In this episode, I'm simplifying how umbrella insurance works for retirement savers.
Specifically, I'm sharing:
→ Why liability risk doesn't necessarily disappear after your working years
→ What umbrella insurance does and doesn't cover
→ 5 common mistakes people make when buying or reviewing a policy
→ A simple 4-part formula for estimating how much coverage you actually need
You'll also learn why the common "match coverage to net worth" rule can be misleading + why coverage may still make sense even when the math says you don't technically need it.
