Retirement is full of surprises that can impact the success of our golden years. In this conversation, Ben and Matt discuss the certainty and uncertainty in retirement, including healthcare costs, home ownership expenses, inflation, and the financial implications of adult children. They emphasize the importance of planning for healthcare expenses, including long-term care, and the need to account for inflation in retirement income.  In this segment, the hosts discuss the current state of the stock market and the impact of inflation. They explain that inflation has become a bigger factor in the market than the uncertainty of an election year. They discuss how inflation is getting more under control and how this is reflected in the stock market. They also talk about the importance of having a holistic retirement plan that considers factors like income, taxation, and time horizons. The hosts also address the role of company stocks and municipal bonds in a retirement plan.
