In this episode, I dive deep into the often-misunderstood realm of retirement planning, debunking the myths that might have you believe bonds are the be-all and end-all for a secure financial future. We've been told time and again to play it safe as we age, but I'm here to flip the script and show you how equities - those powerful shares in the great publicly traded companies - could be your secret weapon against inflation and the key to a retirement income that doesn't just last, but grows.

I bring you almost a century of evidence and my personal anecdotes to back up this bold claim, demonstrating the resilience and growth potential of dividends in an uncertain economy. Together, we'll explore why the 'bonds are best' narrative could actually set you up for a slow-motion financial suicide in a world where living costs are relentlessly climbing.

You'll understand how fostering an income through equity investments in formidable companies isn't just smart; it's necessary to outpace inflation and maintain a lifestyle that's not just comfortable, but financially dynamic. I promise that by the end of our chat, you'll be armed with the essential tactics to make your golden years truly shine.

So, join me as we step confidently into a discussion that could very well redefine your approach to retirement. Let's grow that retirement income together!
