    Answering Your Questions
    Jan 24 2026

    When it comes to retirement, the questions never stop—and that’s a good thing. In this week's episode of The Retirement Income Show, we open up listener submissions and tackle some of the most common (and important) questions people face as they approach retirement.

    From estate planning decisions and Social Security timing to pension choices and generating reliable income, the conversation highlights the themes that show up again and again for retirees and pre-retirees. The goal isn’t quick answers or one-size-fits-all advice, but clarity around the trade-offs and considerations that matter most when your savings need to last. And just when it feels like the big questions have been covered, there’s more still to come.

    It's Your Nest Egg. It's Your Choice!
    Jan 17 2026

    Every day, life presents us with choices—some obvious, others seemingly small—that quietly shape the direction of our future. The same is true when it comes to the decisions you make with your only retirement nest egg.

    In this episode of The Retirement Income Show, we explore how those choices impact your retirement income and long-term security. We'll highlight how decision-making starts early and confront the confusion many retirees feel when faced with too many financial options.

    The conversation challenges common assumptions and examines the trade-offs behind key retirement decisions—designed to sharpen your thinking, not dictate your choices.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether the choices you’ve made for retirement still make sense, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
