The Telescope and Microscope Approach to Retirement

Technology keeps evolving, but faster access to financial information doesn’t always mean better information. Jim Fox explores how A.I., robo-advisors, ETFs, target-date funds, and other financial tools are changing the retirement-planning landscape. He discusses the risks of relying on misinformation, why technology-generated answers still require scrutiny, and the role experience can play when something doesn’t quite add up. It’s a candid look at balancing new technology with human judgment when making decisions about retirement.

It’s Not About Products, It’s About Your Plan

The happiest retirees may not be the ones with the biggest accounts. They’re the ones who know where their next paycheck is coming from. In this episode, Jim Fox explores the difference between happiness and contentment in retirement, why reliable income matters more than chasing returns, and how personalized planning can help align your finances with your lifestyle. The conversation covers retirement income strategies, spending decisions, financial priorities, and the importance of building a plan around your goals rather than trying to keep up with someone else’s version of success.
