Retirement planning doesn’t look the way it did for previous generations, and some of the old assumptions may no longer work. Shawn breaks down several realities retirees need to consider in 2026, including longer lifespans, the decline of traditional pensions, Social Security timing, and the growing influence of AI. Plus, find out why technology can be a valuable resource without replacing the need for a retirement plan built around your individual goals and circumstances.
**Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:**
⏳ Living Longer — Plan for greater longevity
📋 Income Planning — Turn savings into retirement income
🏢 Fewer Pensions — More responsibility falls on retirees
📆 Social Security — Timing can have lasting consequences
🤖 AI & Retirement — Useful tool, not a personalized plan
🧭 Stay Flexible — Retirement plans need ongoing adjustments
