    How to Stop Letting Headlines Drive Your Retirement Plan
    Apr 28 2026

    Market noise can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re close to retirement. In this episode, Jim Fox explains why having a clear income strategy matters more than reacting to headlines, politics, or short‑term market swings. The conversation breaks down sequence‑of‑returns risk, why selling investments for income can quietly derail a plan, and how “diversification” doesn’t always mean what people think it means. Jim also introduces a simple bucket-based framework for managing income, growth, and cash, helping retirees reduce volatility and make decisions based on a plan instead of emotion.

  • Best Of: Sticking the Landing: Why Most Retirement Plans Fall Apart

    Best Of: Sticking the Landing: Why Most Retirement Plans Fall Apart
    Apr 14 2026

    What if your biggest retirement risk isn’t the market—but a plan that was never really a plan at all? In this episode, Jim Fox uses a sports analogy to explain why “sticking the landing” in retirement is harder than saving the money in the first place. He breaks down how decades of product‑driven decisions can leave retirees with a confusing mix of investments that don’t align with their goals. Jim focuses on simplifying complexity, aligning income, taxes, and legacy planning, and replacing hope‑based strategies with clarity before retirement forces tough choices.
