Chasing the next big thing can feel exciting, but is it helping or hurting your retirement plan?

This episode explores the fine line between speculation and strategy, from IPO hype to the fear of missing out. The conversation shifts to building a flexible income plan using tax diversification, multiple “buckets” of money, and balancing guaranteed income with market-based growth. You’ll also hear how tools like Social Security, annuities, and taxable savings can work together to cover expenses and address risks like longevity, taxes, and market volatility, without relying on guesswork or one-size-fits-all solutions.
