In this week’s episode of Retirement Your Way with AmeriLife of Central Florida, hosts Bradley Hardin and Matt McClure explore one of today’s biggest retirement anxieties — the fear of “unretiring.”
Drawing from the 2025 U.S. Bank Wealth Report, the team unpacks why so many Americans worry about running out of money in retirement — and what you can do to make sure your paycheck doesn’t retire before you do.
Listeners will learn:
- Why 63% of retirees expect to return to work after retirement
- How employers shifting from pensions to self-funded plans created new challenges
- Ways to transform 401(k)s and IRAs into reliable, guaranteed income streams
- The importance of Social Security optimization and personal pensions
- How to calm financial fears with budgeting, stress-testing, and a long-term plan
Plus, Bradley and Matt cover the latest market update and discuss how political uncertainty and potential government shutdowns could affect your financial outlook — and what investors can do to stay calm and protected.
