Show Notes
Josh kicks off the show with a story from his annual father daughter camping trip, a reminder of why intentional time matters.
He then breaks down the Federal Reserve’s latest quarter point rate cut and why this one is surrounded by controversy.
With the government shutdown limiting economic data, markets and policymakers are reacting with mixed opinions.
Josh explains how interest rates influence retirees and why planning around income, investments, taxes, healthcare, and legacy needs can help reduce the impact of outside forces.
The show also explores increasing longevity, withdrawal strategies, and real listener questions about planning for a long, fulfilling retirement.
