Retirement can sneak up like a downhill skier with no brakes. In this episode from this past weekend’s radio show, Michigan’s Retirement Coach Mike Douglas uses sports analogies, real client stories, and market history to explain what happens when retirees enter the “red zone” without a plan. The conversation explores sequence‑of‑returns risk, overreliance on rules of thumb, and why having money isn’t the same as having control. From budgeting surprises to market downturns, the episode breaks down how preparation—not hope—shapes the retirement experience.
