    Is Social Security Really Going Away?

    There’s a lot of fear online right now about Social Security “running out,” but how much of it is actually true? In this episode, we cut through the noise and explain what’s really happening behind the scenes with Social Security funding, government obligations, and what retirees can realistically expect in the coming decades.We discuss why Social Security isn’t going away, how the government has handled it historically, what the projected shortfalls actually mean, and why future changes are more likely to be gradual adjustments—not sudden cuts.

    The Myth of the Perfect Retirement Number

    Most people believe there’s a magic number that guarantees a perfect retirement — but that idea may be doing more harm than good. In this episode, we break down why the “perfect retirement number” is a myth, how fear and market noise distort retirement planning, and why income, not net worth, is the real foundation of financial freedom. We explore how lifestyle, inflation, health, and emotional decision-making all impact retirement far more than a single dollar figure ever could. If you’ve ever asked: “How much do I really need to retire?” “Will I outlive my money?” “What happens if markets drop or inflation rises?” “How do I retire with confidence instead of fear?” This episode will change how you think about retirement forever. www.planningmadesimple.com

    First Year After the Paycheck Stops

    Retirement often feels like the finish line—but for many people, it’s just the beginning of a brand-new set of challenges. In this episode, we explore what the first year after the paycheck disappears actually looks like, based on decades of experience walking clients through retirement transitions. We discuss why practicing retirement income before you retire is so important, how dividends can replace a traditional paycheck, and why “budgeting” isn’t about spending less—it’s about knowing your business. We also unpack the emotional side of retirement, including anxiety, identity loss, and the temptation to overspend or panic when markets fluctuate. Whether you’re one year away from retirement or already living it, this episode will help you navigate the most critical transition year with clarity and confidence.  www.planningmadesimple.com
