Rock on Retirement

Coach Pete brings in NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster Chuck Kaiton and gets straight to the real retirement question: how do you turn savings into lifetime income without getting wrecked when markets swing? They break down Coach Pete’s “Financial Fill-Up” approach—why Chuck can take required minimum distributions (RMDs) and still see his portfolio refilling—plus the “dozen tips” that matter most when you’re in the retirement red zone. Then they go after the financial termites: hidden fees and non-traded REITs where Coach says commissions can run “up to 15%,” and warns some people learn the hard way when those products lock you in like “Hotel California.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coach Pete and Russ Hackman (the Wall Street Sweeper!) break down why market volatility is brutal for retirees when too much money stays on the risk table—and why the old 60/40 stock-bond playbook was built for a different era. Russ warns Wall Street keeps “feeding you risk,” even trying to jam private assets into 401(k)s, while Coach Pete stresses you need an exit strategy and lifetime income options so retirement isn’t hostage to headlines. They hit home with the Antonio Brown cautionary tale—over $100 million earned, now Chapter 11 with under $50K in assets—as proof that bad planning (or bad luck at the wrong time) can wipe out anyone. The takeaway: balance growth with protection, plan for inflation, and don’t ignore the silent killer—taxes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
