Retirement gets harder when headlines drive decisions instead of a plan. In this episode, Steve Standley breaks down how interest rates, inflation, and market uncertainty affect retirement—and what you can actually control. The conversation covers reinvestment risk, the danger of reacting to short‑term news, and why different “buckets” of money matter for income, spending, and long‑term goals. Steve also explains the shift from focusing on assets to building dependable retirement paychecks and why guaranteed income plays a central role once the work paycheck stops.
