About this episode

Jim Fox discusses the unpredictable challenges to retirement, focusing on healthcare and personal life events.

What if the biggest threat to your retirement isn’t the market—but something far more personal and unpredictable? In this episode, Jim Fox takes a raw look at how healthcare, long-term care, and unexpected life events can impact retirement plans. The conversation highlights why planning goes far beyond investments, covering income gaps, Medicare complexities, and the rising cost of care. Jim explains why these real-world risks are often overlooked—and why building a strategy that accounts for them can make a meaningful difference when life doesn’t go according to plan.
