Do you really need $1 million to retire, or is that just a retirement myth? Raj Shah and Rick Borek discuss why retirement success may depend more on income planning than hitting a specific savings target. They explore how guaranteed income strategies, Social Security, 401(k)s, fixed income options, and portfolio structure can work together to create financial confidence. The conversation also highlights why many pre-retirees struggle to turn retirement savings into a sustainable income plan and why a 401(k) alone is not a complete retirement strategy.
