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.
