## Resource

Most retirees think a pension guarantees financial security forever… but what if inflation quietly cuts the value of your pension in half over retirement? In today's episode of Joe Knows Retirement, Joe breaks down one of the biggest hidden risks facing retirees with pensions: inflation risk. Even if you have a generous pension and over $1 million saved, failing to plan properly could force you to rely far more heavily on your investments later in retirement. 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/430T9Lv 📚Get a FREE copy of Joe's book "2% Club": https://keap.page/bsd964/2-percent-toolkit-podcast.html 🟥 Read our latest article featured in Kiplinger: https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/retirement-planning/are-you-being-tax-smart-about-your-pension 📞 Schedule a call with our team: https://peakretirementplanning.com/schedule-a-meeting/
