In this episode of Retirement Your Way with AmeriLife of Central Florida, Bradley Hardin joins Matt McClure to explore how retirement has changed — and why today’s retirees face new challenges that require fresh strategies.
From longer life expectancy and the decline of traditional pensions to rising healthcare costs and inflation, Bradley explains how to build your own “personal pension,” optimize your Social Security benefits, and protect your income for decades to come. The team also tackles one of the most misunderstood tools in retirement planning — life insurance — revealing how it can offer living benefits while safeguarding your loved ones.
Finally, they share record-breaking new data on America’s growing number of 401(k) millionaires — and the timeless principles that helped them get there: consistency, discipline, and longevity.
If you’re planning to retire soon or just want to ensure you’re doing it right, this episode will help you plan retirement your way.
