Inflation’s Quiet Impact on Retirement Income

What happens to your retirement income when markets dip and withdrawals are still due? On this episode, Kevin Madden discusses why relying solely on market-based withdrawals can strain a long-term plan—especially during downturns. They explore building a written retirement roadmap, using multiple income sources, and the role guaranteed-style income streams can play alongside investments. The conversation also covers volatility, sequence-of-returns risk, and why having cash reserves and annual plan reviews may help retirees stay disciplined instead of reactive when uncertainty hits.
