Navigating Retirement

Most people reach retirement with big financial blind spots—and no one ever warned them. On this episode, Mark Cordner breaks down why financial literacy matters more than ever, from understanding taxes in retirement to navigating annuities, guaranteed income, and long-term planning choices. The conversation covers common misconceptions, why many retirees feel overwhelmed, and how education—not guesswork—plays a central role in building clarity and confidence. The discussion also explores work-optional lifestyles, staying engaged with your finances, and why understanding how money works is a responsibility that can’t be outsourced.

The Financial Gaps Most Retirees Never See Coming

What if the same strategy that helped you build wealth could put your retirement at risk? Mark Cordner breaks down why retirement requires a different mindset than accumulation, especially during periods of market volatility. He explains the “two-pocket” strategy—balancing market-based assets with principal-protected money—to help manage risk, create flexibility, and avoid being forced to make decisions at the wrong time. From sequence-of-returns risk to inflation and confidence swings, this episode focuses on thinking differently as you transition into retirement.

Why Building Wealth and Protecting It Are Two Different Games

What if stretching your retirement dollars didn’t require cutting joy, but changing perspective? Mark Cordner explores why more retirees are considering everything from relocating abroad to finally enjoying the money they’ve worked decades to save. The discussion covers living overseas, healthcare considerations, cultural realities, and the emotional side of spending in retirement. Mark also explains why careful planning can help ease the fear of running out of money and allow retirees to fully experience the opportunities they’ve already paid for. Retirement, he argues, isn’t just about saving—it’s about using your resources thoughtfully to support the life you want.
