Think your retirement’s safer with a little gold, a favorite stock, and a home full of equity? Time for a reality check. In this episode, we put three “sacred” retirement assets to the test and show how they can quietly derail the one outcome that really matters: a steady paycheck for life.

You’ll learn how to define your retirement portfolio’s real job, growth that beats inflation and protection that funds your lifestyle through market swings. We unpack gold’s myth versus math, why concentrated stock bets widen your risk, and how home equity fits more as lifestyle than income.

Then we share a clear framework for sustainable withdrawals:

• growth sleeves that fight inflation
• reserve sleeves that fund stability
• rebalancing rules and guardrails that keep you on track

Because a great retirement isn’t built on shiny objects or hometown pride, it’s built on reliable income you can live on, year after year.
