What if the biggest threat to your retirement isn’t the market—but your emotions?
In this episode of The Real Money Coach Podcast, Tony Jackson unpacks how headlines, fear, and financial “programming” can drive smart people into bad money decisions. From market volatility and FOMO to misconceptions about diversification and retirement income, the conversation centers on replacing reaction with strategy. Tony explains why planning should be rooted in real numbers, personal goals, and life stages—not hope or hype. Along the way, they explore why one-size-fits-all portfolios fail, how emotions still matter, and why the right coach and plan can change how confident retirement feels.
