  • The Danger of Being Well-Informed in the Financial World
    Jun 24 2026

    Financial information has never been more accessible, yet many people are more confused than ever about what to do with their money. Lee explores why having access to endless opinions, headlines, podcasts, videos, and AI tools doesn't necessarily lead to better financial decisions. He also explains how retirees can cut through the noise and avoid getting stuck in a cycle of constant research without action.

    Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

    💡 Information Overload: Knowledge doesn't equal wisdom

    📱 Social Advice: Bad information spreads fast

    🤖 AI Reality: Helpful tool, imperfect guide

    🧠 Bias Bubbles: Algorithms reinforce beliefs

    🧊 Analysis Paralysis: Research delaying decisions

    🚫 DIY Danger: Don't do it alone

    🎯 Stay Focused: Prioritize goals over headlines

  • Beach, Budgets, and Balance: What Vacation Planning Really Looks Like in Retirement
    Jun 10 2026

    Summer's here. And somewhere between the excitement of planning a big trip and the anxiety of what it costs, a lot of retirees end up doing something that surprises us… they feel guilty about it. They worked hard, they saved, they planned for decades, and then they second-guess a beach vacation. Today, let's talk about how travel fits into a real retirement plan and how to enjoy it without guilt.

    Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

    ✈️ Retirement is the time to enjoy the experiences you've spent decades planning for.

    💰 Creating a dedicated travel fund can make spending feel intentional instead of stressful.

    🧠 The psychology of spending often becomes more challenging once the paycheck stops.

    🌎 Most retirees travel more in the early years of retirement and gradually slow down over time.

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Many retirees are choosing experiences and family travel over simply leaving larger inheritances.
