Retirement is changing faster than most people realize — and many plans are still built around assumptions that no longer apply.

In this episode, I walk through how the idea of retirement has evolved, why traditional planning models don’t always fit today’s reality, and what it means to build a long-term strategy that can adapt as life changes.

This isn’t about predicting markets or guessing what the future will look like.
It’s about understanding the shift that’s already happening and thinking about your plan in a way that stays flexible over time.

We also revisit how your 401(k) fits into this modern approach — not as the entire solution, but as one part of a broader, more adaptive strategy.

This video is the final episode in the 401(k) Confidence Series, where we’ve focused on helping you understand how 401(k)s actually work and how to think about them with clarity and confidence.
