Of all the anxieties that come with retirement, one sits at the top of the list for most men: running out of money. It’s not an irrational fear. People are living longer, inflation is real, and the market doesn’t care what stage of life you’re in when it decides to drop. In this episode, we dig into the question head-on — how long will your retirement investments actually last, and what can you do to improve the odds? We walk through the key factors that affect your portfolio’s staying power: lifestyle spending, inflation, sequence-of-returns risk, and the withdrawal strategy you choose. We cover the 4% rule, the bucket strategy, and when annuities might make sense. No one can promise you a number, but the men who understand this terrain make better decisions — and that’s what this episode is about.
