About this listen

 This week on "Retirement Talks," Ted Thatcher discussed the ongoing complexities of retirement planning, emphasizing the importance of flexibility in financial strategy, especially in light of recent economic changes. They opened with news from Washington that the Federal Reserve had cut interest rates for the first time in nearly a year, a move that impacts retirees planning their income, investments, and long-term goals. Ted highlighted the importance of adapting to shifts in interest rates, market volatility, and policy changes rather than relying on a “set it and forget it” approach.

The show answered listener questions on topics like healthcare costs, Medicare coverage gaps, required minimum distributions (RMDs), and strategies for planning around longevity. Ted explained how to fill Medicare gaps with appropriate insurance, cleared up confusion about changing RMD ages under recent legislation, and shared practical advice for spending and saving based on the “go-go, slow-go, and no-go” phases of retirement.
