PODCAST EPISODE 320 – Retirement Isn’t Short-Term: Why Your Money Needs to Last Decades

ByPaul Adams

In this episode of More Than Commas, Paul and Cory dive deep into what it really takes to build sustainable, guaranteed income for life. They challenge the traditional advice to go “more conservative” in retirement, exposing why longevity risk—not market volatility—is the greatest threat to your financial future. Using a real-world $10 million retirement example, they walk through how combining lifetime income annuities with smart equity investing can actually create more freedom, flexibility, and opportunities for generosity later in life. Whether you’re planning to retire soon or decades away, this episode will change the way you think about risk, cash flow, and true financial independence.
