8 Investing Numbers That Shape Whether Your Nest Egg Outlives You

August 27, 2026·22 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

You've spent decades building a nest egg large enough to fund the retirement you want. The next challenge is making sure it can support that same lifestyle for the next 30 years. At 3% historical inflation, the $100,000 lifestyle you retire on could cost $240,000 a year by age 90. And the assets that feel safest — cash, CDs, and money market funds — have historically done the least to keep up. In this episode, I'm simplifying a century of market history into 8 numbers that shape how long your money lasts. Here's what you'll learn: → The hidden cost of playing it safe with money you won't need for decades → The 2 bond numbers that look nearly identical, and the risk hiding between them → How they all fit together into a simple framework for making confident decisions My hope is that when we're done, you have a small set of reference points to return to, and a lot less noise competing for your attention. *** 📆 Book a Call With Our Team: Your retirement involves complex, interconnected decisions—taxes, income, healthcare, estate planning, investments.  See how they fit together in one coordinated strategy built around your numbers. 👉 Learn More and Book a Call Here *** Episode Resources: →  Grab the Episode Show Notes →  Get Your FREE Tax-Smart Retirement Toolkit →  Learn About the Total Retirement System™
