What if the safest place for your money is quietly putting your retirement at risk? In this episode, the conversation centers on “dead money”—cash sitting still in savings, CDs, or low-interest accounts—and how inflation, taxes, and time can steadily erode purchasing power. The discussion explores why liquidity often feels reassuring, where that confidence can be misleading, and how retirees face a real balancing act between access, stability, and long-term growth. With real-world examples and practical framing, this episode examines how idle dollars fit (or don’t fit) into a broader retirement income strategy—especially when longevity, rising costs, and consistency all matter at the same time.
