A little hope can go a long way, unless it's the foundation of your retirement plan. In this episode, Wade breaks down five common examples of wishful thinking that can quietly sabotage even the most well-intentioned retirees. From underestimating healthcare expenses to assuming you’ll just “keep working,” Wade explains why these hopeful assumptions can lead to stress, shortfalls, and lost opportunities.
Instead of vague optimism, it’s smart to have a plan grounded in reality. Wade shares real client experiences, practical alternatives, and stress-test strategies that can help you prepare for the what-ifs of retirement with clarity and confidence. This episode will help you trade guesswork for peace of mind, whether you’re 5 years away from retiring or already in the “go-go” years.
For this week’s Kingdom Minute, Wade discusses the spiritual significance of money in the Bible, and what it reveals about our hearts and what we truly value.
