Today we’re going to have a little fun on the show by tackling the risks and realities of retirement planning by playing a game called ‘Two Truths and a Lie.’

We’ll challenge common beliefs about inflation, interest rates, and emergency funds by explaining what’s true and what is actually a myth.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• Bonds don’t do as well in an inflationary environment.
• Rising interest rates actually help savers.
• You don’t want to have any risk when it comes to your emergency fund.
• Market crashes can present great buying opportunities.
• Will Social Security ever just go away?

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• What opportunities can exist in the event of a market crash
• Capital gains taxes mean you made a lot of money
• How interest rates work in two different directions
• Finding yourself and taking a moment to reset after losing a job
