Providence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony Saccaro

Most retirees know about market risk, but that's only one piece of the puzzle. In this week's episode, we explore the hidden risks that can quietly derail an otherwise solid retirement plan if you're not prepared for them ahead of time. We break down how to stress test your portfolio against some of the biggest threats retirees face today, including inflation, rising taxes, sequence of returns risk, long-term care expenses, behavioral mistakes, and even the financial impact of losing a spouse. You'll learn why a retirement plan that looks great on paper may still have dangerous weak spots, how to identify the pressure points in your own strategy, and what practical steps you can take now to create more confidence and stability for the future. Because retirement isn't just about growing your money. It's about making sure your plan can survive when life doesn't go according to plan.

Fifty years ago, retirement was simple. Today, it's anything but. In this episode, we unpack why modern retirement planning is more complex (and more risky) than ever before. With people living longer and financial responsibility shifting from employers to individuals, the margin for error is smaller than ever. From deciding when to take Social Security to managing your own investments without a pension, the responsibility is now on you. We also cover key changes like required minimum distributions, Roth strategies, and rising healthcare costs, and why more retirees today fear running out of money more than anything else. If you're approaching retirement or already there, this conversation will help you avoid common mistakes and build a strategy focused on what matters most: reliable income for life.
