Skating to Where the Money Is Going

Inflation doesn’t just show up at the grocery store—it quietly reshapes retirement outcomes. In this episode of the Retirement Summit Podcast, Shawn O’Keefe breaks down how persistent inflation affects income, purchasing power, and long-term planning for those nearing or living in retirement. The conversation explores why many retirees feel the impact more intensely, common misconceptions about shifting from growth to preservation, and why having a clear income strategy still matters after you stop working. Shawn also explains how inflation, money supply, and portfolio structure intersect—and why planning, not panic, plays a central role in navigating today’s economic environment.
