About this episode

Steve Anzuoni discusses the impact of inflation on retirees and the importance of guaranteed income for retirement planning.

Inflation is everywhere, yet many retirees say they’re doing just fine—so what’s really going on? On this episode, Steve Anzuoni breaks down how retirees are absorbing rising costs, why guaranteed income matters more than headlines, and how to think clearly about cash flow once the paycheck stops. The conversation cuts through fear, financial noise, and novelty investments—like collectibles or “hot” trends—and refocuses on what actually supports retirement income. It’s a practical, plain‑English discussion about organizing your resources so everything works together when it matters most. SCHEDULE A MEETING OR PHONE CONSULTATION TODAY!
