The Dominoes You Spent Years Lining Up

Billie Miles joins Mark Elliott for a conversation about what happens when a plan built over decades meets something it never accounted for. Billie tells the story of the dominoes he spent hours lining up as a child, and the family dog who ran through them, then uses it to look at how much of a retirement plan quietly depends on conditions holding steady. The conversation also covers why monthly income, rather than account balance, tends to determine how retirement actually feels day to day, and a lesser-known option inside many employer plans called an in-service distribution.
