S3 E11: Snow, Drones, and the Economy That Won’t Sit Still

In this episode of The Retireable Podcast, Mike Wallace and John Sauger kick things off with winter weather woes and big company news—FSA earning another Top Workplace award. From there, they dive into a surprisingly entertaining look at today’s economy: AI everywhere, drones delivering packages, cruise-ship-slow economic shifts, and why interest rates, housing shortages, and consumer spending all seem to be trying to confuse us at the same time. They break down what’s changing, what isn’t, and how retirees can stay grounded when Wall Street and Main Street feel like they’re telling two different stories. Most importantly, they tie it all back to what actually matters: having a real plan, knowing your risk, and understanding how to turn your nest egg into reliable income. In the “Holistic Happening,” Mike shares why skipping a written income plan is one of the most common—and costly—retirement mistakes. A timely, practical, and laugh-along conversation that proves even a shaky economy feels a lot more manageable when you’ve got a clear plan.
