The Real Money Pros

You Can’t Save Your Way to Retirement (7/26/2025)


Listen Later

This week, Brian and Jeremiah dig into one of the biggest mistakes they see from investors—sitting in too much cash out of fear. They talk through why holding back might feel safe but often leads to regret, missed opportunities, and slower retirement progress.

They also break down today’s weird market conditions: strong indexes, mixed economic data, and why consumer confidence still feels shaky despite record highs. Plus, they take on common listener questions—like how to deal with rising insurance premiums, whether real estate still makes sense, and how to stop overthinking every market dip.

They also take listener calls and dive into real-world planning questions: • Should you wait to invest until after the election? • When do Roth conversions make sense? • How should real estate affect your tax plan in retirement? • Are annuities a good idea for monthly income—or a trap?
