Protecting money you have already grown for retirement!

Coach Pete brings in NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster Chuck Kaiton and gets straight to the real retirement question: how do you turn savings into lifetime income without getting wrecked when markets swing? They break down Coach Pete’s “Financial Fill-Up” approach—why Chuck can take required minimum distributions (RMDs) and still see his portfolio refilling—plus the “dozen tips” that matter most when you’re in the retirement red zone. Then they go after the financial termites: hidden fees and non-traded REITs where Coach says commissions can run “up to 15%,” and warns some people learn the hard way when those products lock you in like “Hotel California.”

They break down Coach Pete&rsquo;s &ldquo;Financial Fill-Up&rdquo; approach&mdash;why Chuck can take required minimum distributions (RMDs) and still see his portfolio refilling&mdash;plus the &ldquo;dozen tips&rdquo; that matter most when you&rsquo;re in the retirement red zone.

The 15% Fee That Can Nuke Your Nest Egg — Coach Pete’s “Financial Fill-Up” Plan Is the Escape Hatch

Coach Pete and the crew get straight to the point in this episode: if you’re not squeezing every ounce out of your 401(k), you’re leaving real money behind. They break down the Roth vs. traditional decision in plain English—what you’re really betting on with taxes—and why “safe money” isn’t about being scared, it’s about building a foundation that can survive market chaos. From lifetime income planning to dialing in asset allocation (how you spread money across investments) based on your risk tolerance (how much volatility you can stomach), Coach also calls out the “financial termites” that quietly eat your savings—fees, bad timing, and sloppy strategy. Bottom line: stop drifting and start driving your plan.

401(k) Secrets, Roth vs. Traditional Smackdown, and the “Safe Money” Moves Wall Street Won’t Spell Out

Coach Pete and Russ Hackman (the Wall Street Sweeper!) break down why market volatility is brutal for retirees when too much money stays on the risk table—and why the old 60/40 stock-bond playbook was built for a different era. Russ warns Wall Street keeps “feeding you risk,” even trying to jam private assets into 401(k)s, while Coach Pete stresses you need an exit strategy and lifetime income options so retirement isn’t hostage to headlines. They hit home with the Antonio Brown cautionary tale—over $100 million earned, now Chapter 11 with under $50K in assets—as proof that bad planning (or bad luck at the wrong time) can wipe out anyone. The takeaway: balance growth with protection, plan for inflation, and don’t ignore the silent killer—taxes.
