Today on the Wade Borth Podcast, Wade challenges the traditional view of retirement and encourages listeners to rethink what it truly means. Whether you see retirement as retooling, relaxing, or chasing new adventures, one thing remains the same—your financial strategy should reflect your values, not someone else's template. Wade explores why relying solely on market-based income can create unnecessary fear and scarcity, and how guaranteed income solutions like annuities can offer peace of mind and stability. If you're approaching retirement or simply thinking about your future, this episode will help you align your money decisions with the life you actually want to live.
