Inflation may be loud, but retirement risks are quieter—and far more dangerous if ignored. David Gagnon breaks down why spending in retirement isn’t linear, how inflation and healthcare costs can quietly erode even large nest eggs, and why assumptions can derail long-term income plans. The conversation explores stress testing, sequence-of-returns risk, tax efficiency, and the behavioral traps retirees face when chasing markets or overspending early. From real-world planning scenarios to the power of discipline and this episode reframes what financial stability in retirement really looks like.
