Hi Jan,
Episode 211 of our Retire With Style podcast is out now!
This week on Retire with Style, Alex and I dive into one of the most fundamental but often misunderstood areas of retirement planning: present value. Many retirement decisions, from when to claim Social Security to whether a pension or lump sum makes more sense, ultimately come down to how future cash flows compare in today’s dollars.
In the episode, we walk through how concepts like discount rates, breakeven analysis, and internal rates of return show up in real planning decisions. We also talk about why the math matters, and why it is never the whole story. Good retirement planning blends clear financial analysis with personal preferences, risk tolerance, and real-world trade-offs.
If you have ever felt unsure about how to evaluate competing retirement options, this conversation will give you a clearer framework for thinking through those choices. Listen now to learn more!
