In this episode, Dave and Adam dive into the practical side of retirement income planning, from paying yourself first in retirement to managing cash flow once the paycheques stop. Adam walks through his three retirement planning checkpoints, the real costs of long-term care versus in-home care and why guaranteed income floors matter more than ever. They also break down annuities in detail, including copycat annuities, piggyback annuities and how pairing them with delayed government benefits can take the sting out of inflation fears.

The conversation also explores the emotional side of money in later life, including the struggle many couples face when selling the family home and the psychology of spending in retirement, the subject of the book Adam is currently writing.
