Most people say nervous—and that reveals everything wrong with how we think about retirement. In this episode, host Marty Becker breaks down groundbreaking research on the \"Peak 65 Zone\"—a demographic tsunami where over 11,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. The problem? The traditional three-legged stool of retirement (pension, Social Security, savings) has collapsed to just one leg, and most retirement plans were never designed to solve the real challenge retirees face. You'll discover: Why retirement isn't about how much you have, but how long your income will last The critical difference between accumulation and distribution (and why your 401(k) only solves half the problem) What the Peak 65 research reveals about creating guaranteed lifetime income Why fewer than 20% of Americans still have pension access—and what that means for you Whether you're approaching retirement or already there, this episode will change how you think about turning your savings into income you cannot outlive.","meta_description":"If someone handed you a suitcase with a million dollars and said it has to last the rest of your life, would you feel confident or nervous?
