When the paycheck stops, the bills don’t—and that reality changes how retirement planning works. In this episode, Steve Standley explains why retirement success depends less on account balances and more on reliable income. The conversation explores guaranteed income sources, how retirees balance insurance, market investments, and cash, and why outdated withdrawal rules can create unnecessary risk. Steve also discusses how health, longevity, inflation, and changing job markets make income planning even more critical later in life, and why retirement planning is not a do‑it‑yourself project.
