How to Retire With Confidence in an Uncertain Market

In this episode of Premier Retirement Radio, Jeff takes a clear, level-headed look at what’s really happening in today’s markets—and what it means for retirees and those nearing retirement. From the so-called “Santa Claus rally” to layoffs, AI headlines, and Federal Reserve policy, Jeff explains why market moves don’t always reflect economic fundamentals and why volatility matters most once you’re living off your savings. The conversation then turns to the number-one concern retirees consistently share: running out of money. Jeff breaks down why traditional stock-and-bond strategies can create unnecessary risk in retirement and how separating guaranteed income from growth assets can help restore confidence and predictability. You’ll also hear practical, end-of-year planning ideas, including tax-bracket strategy, Roth planning, charitable tools, and tax-loss harvesting—simple steps that can reduce future tax stress and help your money last longer. Finally, Jeff answers listener questions covering second-marriage estate planning, portfolio risk as retirement approaches, and how the Premier Retirement Roadmap brings income, tax, healthcare, and legacy planning together into one coordinated strategy. If you’re looking for clarity, confidence, and practical guidance in an uncertain environment, this episode is for you. 0:00 – 🎙️ Welcome to Premier Retirement Radio Why today’s financial decisions shape tomorrow’s quality of life 0:52 – 🎅 Is the “Santa Claus Rally” Real?
