Does achieving the “American Dream” now come with a multi‑million‑dollar price tag? In this episode, Chris Kichurchak breaks down what retirement really costs—and why it may be the single largest financial expense most families will face. He challenges the idea that success is tied to a specific number, focusing instead on how lifestyle, spending, and income strategy determine financial independence. The conversation also explores rising healthcare costs, market uncertainty, and the growing responsibility individuals have to fund their own retirement. It’s a practical look at redefining the American Dream through thoughtful planning and realistic expectations
