Social Security, Medicare & Market Volatility: Your Retirement Action Plan for 2026

In this episode of Retirement Your Way, Bradley Hardin and Matt McClure dive into the upcoming Social Security changes for 2026, including cost-of-living adjustments, higher taxable wage limits, Medicare premium increases, and a brand-new tax deduction for seniors. They break down how these changes impact retirees, pre-retirees, and workers still paying into the system—and why many of these updates may mean less income in your pocket than expected. Bradley and Matt also explore one of the biggest questions listeners have: “Can I trust that Social Security will still be there for me?” Their answer: yes, but not necessarily at today’s benefit levels. And that means every retiree must build a plan that can stand on its own two feet—Social Security should be the cherry on top, not the whole sundae. The episode continues with strategies for budgeting during the holidays, preparing for market volatility, managing sequence-of-returns risk, and creating guaranteed lifetime income through personal pensions like fixed indexed annuities. Matt and Bradley also issue an urgent reminder for anyone age 73 or older: RMDs must be taken before December 31, with no exceptions. Packed with practical action steps, retirement income insight, and truly listener-friendly explanations, this episode helps you begin 2026 with clarity and confidence. 👉 Schedule your complimentary consultation today: 📞 (386) 977-9684 🌐 PlanRetirementYourWay.com -- Investment advisory services offered through Brookstone Capital Management, LLC (BCM), a registered investment advisor.
