The biggest fear in retirement often isn’t the market—it’s losing the paycheck you’ve relied on for decades. In this episode, Steve Standley explores why so many retirees feel anxious even when the numbers look solid on paper. The conversation breaks down the difference between saving assets and creating income, the risks of retiring during volatile market periods, and why the years just before and after retirement can be the most fragile. You’ll also hear how simplicity, predictable income, and thoughtful planning can change how retirement actually feels day to day.
