What if retirement planning isn’t about hitting a magic number, but stacking the right layers? In this episode of The Retirement Playbook, Granger Hughes breaks down why income, not account balances, often drives confidence in retirement. The conversation explores layered planning concepts using familiar analogies, from cakes to cleats, to explain how tools like Social Security, pensions, and annuities each can play a role. He also addresses market volatility, risk tolerance, and why average returns don’t always match real-life results. The focus stays on education, customization, and helping listeners better understand how different financial pieces can fit together as retirement approaches.
