    Jan 16 2025

    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?
