What if your retirement expectations look great on the label—but fall short in real life? Inspired by the surprising truth behind “double‑stuffed” cookies, this episode of Jacksonville’s Retirement Coach explores where retirement assumptions often collide with reality. CFP® Adam Wolf digs into common expectation gaps around Social Security, healthcare costs, market returns, and the transition from saving to spending. He discusses why numbers don’t always match headlines, how health and timing can shift plans, and why retirees often discover outcomes—both positive and negative—only after running the details. It’s a candid, practical conversation about aligning expectations with what retirement may actually look like.
