Ep 375Podcast Extra: How AI Is Reshaping Work for Older Americans — Insights from AARP’s Carly Roszkowski

Artificial intelligence is transforming the workplace faster than ever — and for older workers, that shift can feel both exciting and intimidating. Retirement.Radio’s Matt McClure sits down with Carly Roszkowski, VP of Financial Resilience Programming at AARP, to unpack how AI is reshaping the job market and what it means for workers over 50.

Carly shares practical ways job seekers can use AI tools to research companies, tailor resumes, prepare for interviews, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving workforce. The conversation also highlights the growing value of multigenerational workplaces and why experience still matters in an AI-driven world. Plus, Carly points listeners to AARP’s free resources designed to help older adults navigate career transitions with confidence. If you’re thinking about career longevity, job security, or how technology is reshaping the future of work, this episode offers timely insights and practical guidance you can use right now. -- Schedule your free meeting with Dan & Jim: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/contact/ Call us now by dialing #250 on your cell phone and say the key-word “MONEY” Listen to Previous Episodes: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/radio/ Connect with Dan & Jim: [email protected] | (916) 791-7063 Subscribe to our YouTube to watch Clips from our radio and TV shows: https://www.youtube.com/@peakfinancialfreedomgroup -- About Peak Financial Freedom Group: At Peak Financial Freedom Group our top priority is to help you stop worrying about your money.

Ep 374Why Your Investment Strategy Must Change in Retirement

This week on The Peak Financial Freedom Hour, Dan and Jim explain why the investment strategy that helped you grow your wealth during your working years may not be the right strategy as you approach or enter retirement. Dan and Jim discuss why protection and income stability often become more important than aggressive growth at this stage of life. For many retirees, preserving what they have built and creating predictable income streams is the key to long-term success and peace of mind. -- Schedule your free meeting with Dan & Jim: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/contact/ Call us now by dialing #250 on your cell phone and say the key-word “MONEY” Listen to Previous Episodes: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/radio/ Connect with Dan & Jim: [email protected] | (916) 791-7063 Subscribe to our YouTube to watch Clips from our radio and TV shows: https://www.youtube.com/@peakfinancialfreedomgroup -- About Peak Financial Freedom Group: At Peak Financial Freedom Group our top priority is to help you stop worrying about your money.

Ep 373Why Uncertainty Is the Biggest Risk in Retirement

This week on The Peak Financial Freedom Hour, Dan and Jim talk about a concern they see every day in their office: people who are worried! Many people approaching or already in retirement are feeling uneasy, not just about the markets, but about whether their plan will actually work. For some, that uncertainty comes from not having a real plan at all. For others, it’s the fear that the plan they do have might not be enough. And often, that worry becomes so overwhelming that it keeps people stuck and unsure where to begin. Dan and Jim explain why this kind of “advanced worrying” is common – and how it can be redirected into advanced thinking and planning instead. They walk listeners through the importance of having your plan and portfolio analyzed, identifying potential gaps, and making adjustments that can create more confidence and clarity. -- Schedule your free meeting with Dan & Jim: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/contact/ Call us now by dialing #250 on your cell phone and say the key-word “MONEY” Listen to Previous Episodes: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/radio/ Connect with Dan & Jim: [email protected] | (916) 791-7063 Subscribe to our YouTube to watch Clips from our radio and TV shows: https://www.youtube.com/@peakfinancialfreedomgroup -- About Peak Financial Freedom Group: At Peak Financial Freedom Group our top priority is to help you stop worrying about your money.

Ep 372Going Against the Grain

This week, Dan and Jim explain why building a retirement plan often requires going in a very different direction than the strategy you used during your working years. When you're saving for retirement, the focus is on accumulation and growth. But once you retire, the entire purpose of that money changes — you shift from asset accumulation to asset decumulation. They walk listeners through why income-producing assets become so important in retirement, and why continuing to rely heavily on high-risk, growth-dependent assets can put your lifestyle at risk. Dan and Jim remind retirees that the money they saved was always meant to become income later on, and that means your plan must be designed around stability, safety, and reliable cash flow. Key topics we cover this week: • Why retirement requires a shift in financial strategy • The importance of prioritizing income-producing assets • How to build a safer, more predictable retirement plan -- Schedule your free meeting with Dan & Jim: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/contact/ Call us now by dialing #250 on your cell phone and say the key-word “MONEY” Listen to Previous Episodes: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/radio/ Connect with Dan & Jim: [email protected] | (916) 791-7063 Subscribe to our YouTube to watch Clips from our radio and TV shows: https://www.youtube.com/@peakfinancialfreedomgroup -- About Peak Financial Freedom Group: At Peak Financial Freedom Group our top priority is to help you stop worrying about your money.

Ep 371Will Your Retirement Plan Withstand the Next Crash?

This week, Dan and Jim discuss how risk often comes from not knowing what you’re doing and how that uncertainty can quietly affect your retirement plan. They challenge listeners to think about whether their current advisor is truly helping them build a real plan or just managing their investments and charging fees. They also explain the difference between having retirement accounts and having an actual plan that covers income, tax planning, and legacy. Key topics we cover this week: • Understanding where real risk comes from • The importance of building a true retirement income plan • The difference between having accounts versus having a real, written plan -- Schedule your free meeting with Dan & Jim: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/contact/ Call us now by dialing #250 on your cell phone and say the key-word “MONEY” Listen to Previous Episodes: https://peakfinancialfreedomgroup.com/radio/ Connect with Dan & Jim: [email protected] | (916) 791-7063 Subscribe to our YouTube to watch Clips from our radio and TV shows: https://www.youtube.com/@peakfinancialfreedomgroup -- About Peak Financial Freedom Group: At Peak Financial Freedom Group our top priority is to help you stop worrying about your money.

Ep 343Social Security Announces Lowest Cost of Living Adjustment in Four Years

GUEST: Jenn Jones, VP of Government Affairs, AARP TOPIC: Each year the Social Security Administration announces the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for the upcoming year. Last week, leaders announced a 2.5% COLA for 2025. That is smaller than recent years – attributable to slowing inflation. COLA increases are meant to offset rising prices including food, gas and living expenses. This year, retirees on a fixed income have struggled to keep up with inflation and the 2025 COLA is expected to provide some relief. -- Call us now by dialing #250 on your cell phone and say the key-word “MONEY” It’s time to get your own retirement plan IN WRITING.
