The evolution of retirement has been changing for decades and with people living longer than before, many people are wondering where they will end up when their time comes.

This week on the show, Brad explores I Have a Pension, DROP, Deferred Compensation...Why Don't I Feel Wealthy?, breaking down why having multiple retirement benefits doesn't always translate into feeling financially secure. From pensions and Deferred Retirement Option Plans (DROP) to deferred compensation accounts and other retirement savings strategies, Brad examines the difference between building wealth on paper and actually experiencing financial freedom. He explores why even those with seemingly strong retirement plans can struggle with financial uncertainty, how lifestyle inflation and rising expenses can impact your sense of security, and why understanding your overall financial picture is just as important as accumulating assets. Whether you're approaching retirement, navigating your employee benefits, or wondering why your financial progress doesn't match how wealthy you feel, this episode offers valuable insights to help you better understand your money and make more confident financial decisions. Because true wealth isn't just about how much money you've accumulated; it's about the freedom, confidence, and peace of mind that come with knowing your money is working for you.
