One hundred episodes ago, Brett Fellows sat down in front of a microphone with no idea if a single person outside his own family would ever listen.

For this milestone episode, there is no new strategy and no client case study. Brett goes back through ninety-nine episodes and pulls out the five questions that keep resurfacing for CRNAs and NPs, no matter how different two households look on paper. He also shares the honest reason he keeps making this show at all.

Brett covers:

  • Tax buckets: why the account a dollar sits in, pre-tax, Roth, or taxable, matters more over a whole career than any single year's tax bill
  • How much is enough, and why the number itself is rarely the hard part
  • Social Security as a one-way door, and why the claiming decision changes the math on everything else
  • The healthcare gap before Medicare, and the shadow tax created by a Roth conversion in the wrong year
  • Withdrawal order once the paycheck stops, and why the sequence matters as much as the total
  • The honest reason Brett keeps making this show, a hundred episodes in
