Retirement Rules That Don’t Fit? Let’s Rethink Them

Marker 01

What if the amount you save isn’t as important as how your income lasts?
In this episode of Smarter Retirement Radio, John Ripley explores why a steady, reliable income can matter more in retirement than walking away with a large lump sum. Using a recent lottery winner’s dilemma as a jumping-off point, they break down the difference between unpredictable market‑based accounts and structured income designed to support long-term spending. John will also unpack current market conditions, recent legislative changes such as the Secure Act, and practical considerations for Required Minimum Distributions. They close with a personal story that underscores a core theme of retirement planning: creating a framework that not only supports financial stability but also leaves room for meaningful experiences with the people who matter most.
