On this episode of My Money Is Safe, Greg Elie and Patti Jaynes focus on economic warning signs they say retirees should not ignore just because stocks are near highs. They cite local strain in Greenville (businesses closing, layoffs, housing costs that block people from moving home) and a Business Insider piece on economist Tuomas Malinen, who points to rising bankruptcies, a private-sector yield curve near a recession signal, and an economy that looks strong mainly in a narrow AI-related slice.

They argue official inflation understates the hit to purchasing power (they compare current prices with 1982-style measures), that 60/40 and buy-and-hold plans leave too much at risk, and that two gaps stand out: no plan for a correction and no catastrophic long-term-care coverage.

Their pitch is to rebalance now—take some chips off the table, use accounts that can add a large day-one bonus, consider tax harvesting or Roth conversions, and review income strategies—so a downturn does not undo retirement. Listeners are invited to call 1-800-297-5755 or visit MyMoneyIsSafe.com.
