About this episode

This episode explores unexpected retirement risks stemming from planning and financial decision-making rather than just markets and inflation.

Retirement risks are not always what people expect. This episode explores why some of the biggest retirement challenges stem less from markets and more from planning, spending behavior, and financial decision-making. Kirk and Michael discuss retirement income, underspending, fear-driven choices, and why understanding how money should function in retirement can help retirees make more informed decisions.
