Market volatility and global uncertainty can expose the difference between having a real retirement plan and just having accounts. In this episode, Ed Storer explains why panic moves—like going to cash—can do more harm than good, how missing key market days impacts long-term returns, and why aligning risk tolerance with risk capacity matters. He also covers critical financial decisions after the loss of a spouse, including income changes, taxes, and Social Security, plus the importance of building a reliable retirement income strategy.
