Trying to hit home runs with your retirement money is often how people strike out. In this episode, Stuart Seegmiller explains why steady “singles and doubles” matter more than chasing the next big win when planning for retirement. Using a baseball analogy, the conversation explores how fear, greed, market hype, and headline noise can derail long‑term plans. Stuart also discusses common financial strikeouts—overreacting to trends, swinging for the fences with risk, and letting news cycles drive decisions—and why consistency, discipline, and balance play a bigger role over a 20‑ or 30‑year retirement.
