Is the "B-Word" the secret to a stress-free retirement? 🤫
Nearly 48% of Americans are worried they will outlive their assets. With rising healthcare costs and inflation hitting 8.5% in 2026, that anxiety is real—and it can take a serious toll on your mental health.
Our own Jason LaBarge recently sat down with Patrice Saunders at Wbff Tv Fox 45 Baltimore to discuss why so many feel this way and, more importantly, what to do anout it.
Key takeaways from the segment:
🟢 The "Green Money" vs. "Red Money" Strategy: Focus on guaranteed income (Green) for your essentials and use growth assets (Red) for the fun stuff, like vacations.
📉 The "B-Word": Budgeting isn’t just for those starting out. Knowing exactly what you spend is the first step to feeling in control.
💸 Accounting for "The Silent Partner": Don't just look at your gross savings. Remember that taxes and inflation are factors that change the "net" reality of your retirement.
Whether you’re 20 or 80, the strategy remains the same: Live within your means, eliminate debt, and focus on sustainable income.
