Shaq’s Favorite Investment and the Retirement Conversation It Started

What if the biggest risk to your retirement isn’t the market—but how you’re taking income from it?

The conversation explores creating personal pension-style income, avoiding “dead money,” coordinating scattered accounts, and planning for big-ticket retirement spending without regret.
