Financial Termites: Hidden Costs That Can Eat Away at Retirement
Monday, 15 June, 2026

In this episode of Financial Safari, Coach Pete and the team discuss how retirees can make more confident decisions by understanding the fine print before they buy, borrow, invest, or start drawing income. From big purchases and hidden fees to market risk and rollover mistakes, the conversation highlights the importance of having a written retirement plan instead of relying on guesswork. Listeners will also hear about “financial termites” — the hidden costs, fees, taxes, and risks that can quietly eat away at retirement savings. The episode covers income planning, risk versus safety, bucket strategies, and why the money you have saved is not always the same as the money you can safely spend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
