Will your retirement money last as long as you do?

In today’s episode of the Pivotal REI Podcast, Ginny Bolling sits down with self-directed IRA expert Kareen Hall to discuss how real estate investors can take real control of their retirement plans. Kareen explains why saving and investing still matter at any age and how self-directed IRAs open the door to real assets like property, notes, and precious metals. They break down how these accounts work, common mistakes to avoid, and why many investors never realize they have options beyond the stock market.

This is a practical, no-hype conversation focused on long-term security and smarter planning. If you want your money working harder for your future, this episode will change how you think about retirement.
