Will your savings reliably support you through your retirement years?

In this episode of the Retirement Planners of America podcast, Ken Moraif and co-host Jeremy Thornton walk through their Retirement Cash Flow Plan framework — a practical way to think about income, withdrawals, taxes, inflation, and bear markets when you’re in (or approaching) retirement.

Using a real-world style example, they discuss:

Separating pre-tax and after-tax accounts for smarter withdrawal decisions

How Social Security fits into an overall income strategy

Stress-testing your plan with higher taxes, higher inflation, and modest returns

Why protecting against major market downturns matters so much once paychecks stop

How to think about “SCWPer” years (your second childhood without parental supervision)

This conversation is designed for people age 50+ who want clarity, structure, and a more disciplined approach to retirement income.
