About this listen

What happens when the safety net you expected is gone, and your 401(k) is your only lifeline for a decades-long retirement? In this episode, we confront the daunting transition from saver to spender and expose the hidden pitfalls that threaten your nest egg—tax traps, inflation’s slow drain, and the risks of market downturns. With new tax laws reshaping the landscape and traditional pensions disappearing, you’ll discover why today’s retirees face uncharted territory, and which strategies might help you build lasting income security in an era of uncertainty. The answers may surprise you—but the questions you’re not asking could matter most.
