What if the “million‑dollar rule” is distracting you from what really matters in retirement? In this episode, Tim Wood and special guest Melissa Wood unpack why only 3% of Americans hit that number—and why the other 97% can still build a solid retirement with the right strategy. Tim explains how to protect what you’ve saved, prepare for the market bubble that’s coming sooner or later, and decide how much risk is truly appropriate. You’ll also hear how part‑time retirement, budgeting, and guaranteed income tools can reshape your future, no matter your starting point.
