Stewart explains how the same principles that apply on the mat apply to your portfolio: small, incremental improvements across every part of your financial plan can create real leverage, while waiting too long to make a change can cost you dearly.\nStewart breaks down why Social Security claiming decisions should never be guesswork, how survivor benefits can matter more than most people realize, and why Roth conversions deserve serious attention while tax brackets remain historically low. He also shares hard lessons on tapping out of high cost, high risk products like variable annuities before the market forces the issue, and how biases like loss aversion and fear of missing out can quietly steer bad decisions.\nAlong the way, Stewart opens up about a hard learned lesson from his own jujitsu training and ties it back to the importance of stress testing your retirement plan through Monte Carlo simulations before a real downturn puts it to the test.\n📞 Call 877-5-RETIRE or visit AssetPreservationWealth.com to schedule your complimentary portfolio review and risk analysis.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/wfGAkg8Op7RR3x-PC7tljJ7P3GEU8lSppj4RYNe6L-o/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zYTNm/YTQ0MWU3NmMyMWJj/NWExMzNkZGI3ZmYx/ZTk4NC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
