Zero is Your Hero: Protecting Principal While Growing Assets

In this week’s episode of Retirement Your Way, hosts Bradley and Madison Hardin join Matt McClure to explore how retirees can build wealth safely while protecting what they’ve worked so hard to earn.

From market downturns that can derail retirement plans to the fear many people have of outliving their savings, the Hardins explain why accumulation strategies need to balance both growth and protection. They dive into fixed indexed annuities (FIAs)—how they’ve evolved beyond “your grandfather’s annuity”—and why these tools can deliver market-like returns without the risk of losing your principal.

The show also features a fun round of Right or Wrong, where common retirement myths get busted, plus practical tips for creating a personal income stream you can never outlive.

Whether you’re in the retirement red zone or already enjoying your golden years, this episode will give you insights on how to grow your nest egg while sleeping soundly at night.
