Bond decisions made today can feel simple—until interest rates move and retirement income questions get complicated.

Many retirees and near-retirees are taking a closer look at how bonds fit into their overall strategy. In this episode, Nolan Baker breaks down five practical considerations for evaluating bonds, including how interest rates influence prices, why duration matters, and the differences between Treasuries, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds. The Nolan also explores how Federal Reserve policy can ripple through the bond market and why diversification and credit quality often matter more than chasing yield. Listeners will hear about common missteps, such as overlooking fees or ignoring rate trends- and how portfolio adjustments may be considered as market conditions change. If bonds play a role in your retirement picture, this discussion offers helpful context for thinking through how they’re used and why structure matters.

What if the biggest risk to your retirement isn’t the market, but the assumptions you’re making right now? In this episode of the How to Retire Radio Show, American Retirement Headquarters digs into the real mechanics of retirement planning, starting with how much monthly income retirement actually requires. They break down the three phases of retirement spending and why income needs often change over time, not all at once. The conversation also tackles the financial trade‑offs of delaying retirement, along with common misunderstandings around Social Security and the widely referenced 4% rule. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize why relying on rules of thumb can leave gaps and how a comprehensive, written financial plan helps bring clarity and structure to retirement decisions. This discussion is designed to challenge conventional thinking and encourage a more deliberate approach to planning the years.
