| 5/12/26 |  473 - 2026 Retirement Challenge: Social Security. What Are We Really Optimizing For? | Social Security is an incredible benefit. It's inflation-adjusted income, it can be tax-efficient, and it includes spousal and survivor benefits. For many retirees, it becomes one of the most valuable financial assets they have. But determining the best time to start Social Security is more complicated than simply using an online calculator that tells you how to get the largest check.

| 1/14/26 |  #466 The 2026 Retirement Challenge: Start With Why | We are going to start the year off with a podcast series called "The 2026 Retirement Challenge". The idea is that each podcast I am going to bring you one thing to work on so that by the end of the series you will know if you are ready to retire and if the numbers will work. Most retirement planning starts with a number. "How much do I need?" "When can I retire?" "Am I going to run out of money?" Those are important questions — and we'll get to all of them in this retirement challenge. But today, I want to start somewhere else. Because here's what I've seen after years of working with retirees: Retirement isn't just a financial transition, it's a life transition. That's why the first step in the 2026 Retirement Challenge isn't about Social Security, taxes, or investments. It's about your why. Why are you retiring? What are you retiring to? And what kind of life do you actually want to design? | — | ||||||

| 11/14/25 |  464 Let's Talk About Gold - Should You Own It? | Gold is up more than 50% year-to-date. Costco has been selling gold bars that fly off the shelves. The Discovery Channel's hit show Gold Rush draws millions of viewers. And central banks around the world have been buying gold at record levels. Demand is high—and the price reflects it. So in today's podcast, I want to dive into all things gold: what it is, what makes it valuable, why people invest in it, and my own philosophy about owning it.

| 7/23/25 |  458 One Big Beautiful Bill: What Retirees Need to Know | In today's podcast, I want to talk about the new One Big Beautiful Bill Act, recently passed and signed into law by the President on July 4th of this year. This legislation is significant for a couple of key reasons. First, it makes permanent one of the largest tax cuts in history—the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), originally passed in 2017 and previously set to expire at the end of this year. Second, the bill itself spans more than 300 pages, packed with new provisions, many of which will create planning opportunities for retirees and pre-retirees alike.

| 5/8/25 |  454 Unlocking the Spousal Top-Up Strategy in Social Security | One of the most common Social Security questions we get is this: "If my spouse starts her Social Security at age 62 and I wait until age 70 to start mine, can she receive a higher spousal benefit when I start?" When it comes to Social Security, most people know you can qualify for retirement benefits based on your own work history — the taxes you paid into the system over the years. But what many don't realize is that you might also be eligible for a spousal benefit, even if you didn't work enough to qualify on your own. That's right — even if you didn't pay into Social Security, you may still be able to receive a benefit based on your spouse's earnings record.

| 4/24/25 |  453 The Barbell Strategy: How to Be a Pessimist and Optimist at the Same Time | In today's episode, I'm sharing a time-tested strategy that can boost your confidence when it comes to withdrawing money in retirement—the barbell strategy. Also known as the two-bucket approach, this method is designed to help you navigate market volatility while staying focused on long-term growth. I'll walk you through the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the barbell strategy—so by the end of this episode, you'll have a clear understanding of how it works and whether it's a fit for your retirement plan. Put simply, this strategy involves holding some of your retirement assets in low-risk, easily accessible accounts, while the rest remains invested for long-term growth. The goal isn't to predict the market—because no one can—but rather to create a structure that allows you to respond calmly and strategically, no matter what the market is doing. | — | ||||||
