What if the biggest risks to retirement aren’t market crashes—but the assumptions you never question? In this episode of The Retirement Playbook, Granger Hughes challenge common beliefs about longevity, income, inflation, taxes, and market stability. The conversation explores why retirement expenses don’t always go down, how market swings and inflation complicate planning, and what happens when work, health, or inheritance expectations don’t play out as hoped. You’ll also hear how creating reliable income streams and planning for taxes, Medicare costs, and required distributions can reshape retirement conversations. It’s a practical look at the “what-ifs” that often turn into “what nows.”
