Most retirement problems don’t come from bad decisions. They come from quiet assumptions no one questions. In this episode, Granger Hughes breaks down the beliefs that can quietly derail a retirement plan, from market consistency and inflation to health, longevity, and taxes. He discusses why expenses don’t always go down, how income needs change once paychecks stop, and what happens when hopes like inheritances or continued work don’t materialize. The conversation also explores creating reliable income, managing risk, and understanding the tradeoffs between stability and flexibility. It’s a grounded look at retirement planning in a world where old rules no longer apply.
