If you’re nearing retirement, producing income from your investments isn’t just about returns — it’s about avoiding the mistakes that could reduce your lifestyle. In this week’s Market Moment, Matt, Isaac, and John break down the most common ways investors try to produce income from their portfolios — and the real pros, cons, and risks behind each approach.

They discuss income annuities, dividend-paying stocks, covered call ETFs, real estate, and why taxes, risk tolerance, and planning matter far more than chasing high yields. The guys also cover some of the latest market headlines, like President Trump’s proposal for a 10% cap on credit card interest and the current inflation rate.

Key topics:

➡️ How to generate income from investments

➡️ Income annuities: benefits and limitations

➡️ Dividend stocks vs total return strategies

➡️ Covered call ETFs & option-based income strategies

➡️ Real estate as a cash-flowing investment

➡️ Tax implications of dividends vs capital gains

The Market Moment Headlines:

➡️ Inflation update (2.6%) and market reaction

➡️ The proposed 10% credit card interest rate cap — pros & unintended consequences

📊 Whether you’re retired, nearing retirement, or planning ahead, this episode helps you understand what can go right — and what can go wrong — before relying on investment income. And as always: consulting a financial planner is a great way to understand your personal situation.
