Money Matters

Money Matters with Al & Mike

10/18/25 Show 765 Real Returns

Mike and Al outlines five core practices that help retirees maintain peace of mind regardless of market swings or news headlines. They emphasize having a written income plan, keeping at least one to two years of cash or short-term reserves, reviewing spending habits regularly, and rebalancing portfolios to stay aligned with risk tolerance. Other confidence-boosters include minimizing debt, knowing your guaranteed income sources, and continuing purposeful activities like volunteering, mentoring, or part-time work to replace the sense of structure a career once provided. The key message: confidence in retirement isn’t about predicting markets - it’s about clarity, preparation, and staying engaged with both your finances and your life.
