Description

In this episode of Retirement Straight Talk, Paul and William unpack the one question every retiree and near-retiree should be asking: Is your retirement income plan built to withstand market volatility, inflation, and unexpected life events?


They break down why most plans fall short: linear assumptions, outdated numbers, and lack of stress testing. Plus, dive in to how tools like Monte Carlo analysis can help you build a plan that’s actually resilient. From understanding the sequence of returns risk to the power of scenario planning, this is a must-listen if you want real clarity and control over your financial future.
