Inflation is squeezing paychecks—and retirement income feels the pressure even more. On this episode Kevin Madden breaks down how retirees can balance income, risk, and lifestyle when the market is unpredictable. They explore why market growth isn’t the same as retirement income, how guaranteed strategies can change the math, and where tools like bonds, annuities, and even gold may (or may not) fit. The conversation comes back to one core idea: retirement isn’t built on guesses—it’s built on sustainable income decisions.
