When the Horizon Becomes a Deadline
Here's a sobering reality: the retirement playbook has been completely rewritten, and most of us are still following the old rules. Those Treasury bonds your parents bought at 15% interest? They're gone. The company pension with guaranteed healthcare? A relic. The comfortable nest egg that seemed so secure? It now needs to stretch across potentially 30 or 40 years of life you never planned for. But here's what hasn't changed-your ability to take control right now, regardless of where you're starting from. The question isn't whether you've saved enough or made perfect decisions in the past. The question is: what are you willing to do today to secure the freedom you deserve tomorrow?
