Expectation vs. Reality: The Truth About Retirement Planning


Listen Later

What if your retirement turns out to be less “double‑stuffed” than you expected? In this episode of The Sage Investor Podcast, Larry Kiser unpacks the gap between expectation and reality in retirement planning—using a surprising Oreo analogy to bring it to life. He explores common disconnects around Social Security, investment strategy, healthcare costs, and inflation, and why assumptions can lead to disappointment if not tested. The conversation also highlights how past market fears, tax surprises, and evolving expenses can reshape outcomes without a clear strategy. It’s a practical look at aligning expectations with a well‑structured, adaptable financial plan.
