What happens when retirement surprises hit before you’re ready?
In this episode of The Retirement Playbook, Rick and Granger Hughes dig into the real-world pressures that can derail even well-intentioned retirement plans. They explore why unexpected expenses matter more than most people anticipate, how open enrollment decisions can ripple through long-term finances, and what today’s economic conditions mean for retirees. The conversation covers fixed income strategies, the rising role of long-term care planning, and how Medicare costs can reshape retirement cash flow. Throughout the discussion, Rick and Granger emphasize the value of a personalized retirement approach—one that reflects individual goals, risks, and timelines—and the importance of working with trusted advisors to navigate complex financial choices with clarity and confidence.
