For years, the goal was simple: save, invest, and keep building.

As retirement gets closer, how does that change the goals?

The focus starts to shift:

How do you turn savings into reliable income?

How should taxes and withdrawals be managed?

Does your investment strategy still fit?

Josh and Logan also discuss the Fed, Jackson Hole, and why retirement decisions shouldn’t hinge on predicting the next move in interest rates.

Because getting to retirement is one thing. Knowing how to manage your money once you’re there is another.

A strong jobs report. A Fed governor makes a comment. Markets move. Suddenly everyone has an opinion about what it means for your retirement.

But the closer retirement gets, the bigger questions are often much more personal.

Can you actually retire?
Can you spend the money you spent decades saving?
And can you finally relax without worrying that one bad market, tax surprise, or unexpected expense could derail everything?

In this episode, Josh and Logan talk about why retirement requires more than money. They discuss the behavioral side of making the transition, why even well prepared retirees can struggle to spend, and how stress testing a retirement plan can help turn uncertainty into confidence.

Life insurance can serve an important purpose in retirement planning—but that doesn’t mean every policy belongs in every plan.

In this episode, Josh, Logan and Bruce discuss when life insurance may make sense for retirees, including potential uses for legacy planning, long-term care and tax-efficient wealth transfer.

They also cover some of the common mistakes they see: holding onto old policies that no longer fit, buying insurance before clearly defining the problem it needs to solve, and using cash-value life insurance while overlooking more traditional retirement savings opportunities.

The conversation also explores long-term care options, beneficiary planning and why even retirees who plan to spend most of their money still need to think about how any remaining assets will eventually pass on.

Life insurance can be a useful tool. The key is knowing what job you expect it to do.
