In this episode of The Sage Investor Podcast, Larry Kiser examines the growing cost of retirement and why headlines about million-dollar retirement goals don't tell the whole story. Larry discusses the difference between retiring comfortably and staying comfortably retired, the role of Social Security and pensions, and the importance of creating a flexible income plan that can adapt to changing circumstances. The conversation also explores rising healthcare costs, tax planning opportunities, and newer long-term care strategies that many retirees may not realize are available today.
