THE TOM DUPREE SHOW  |  PODCAST SHOW NOTES I’m 55 and Behind on Retirement — Here’s What You Can Actually Do About It The Tom Dupree Show  |  Dupree Financial Group  |  dupreefinancial.com  |  859-233-0400 Episode Description Turning 55 can trigger some hard questions about retirement — not regrets about the past, but real concerns about the present. Tom Dupree and Lead Advisor Mike Johnson tackle one of the most common questions they hear from new clients: What do you actually do when you feel behind? This episode lays out a practical, honest framework for evaluating where you stand, calculating how much income your portfolio needs to produce, and identifying the specific actions that can still make a real difference in the next ten years. The conversation covers the math behind 401(k) catch-up contributions, the income gap calculation that determines whether your retirement plan actually works, why your expenses matter more than your portfolio balance, and the critical difference between volatility as a friend during accumulation versus a threat during withdrawals. Real client examples ground the discussion — including retirees who thrived on $400,000 and others who struggled with far more. The episode closes with a clear message for anyone in their mid-50s who has been putting off this conversation: the opportunity is still real, the tools are available, and it starts with one step. At 55, you might feel like you’re late getting started — but you still have a lot of opportunity to build real wealth and retire the way that you want. Topics Covered The income gap: How to calculate the difference between your fixed income sources and what you’ll actually need to spend in retirement 401(k) catch-up contributions: The 2026 limits for savers over 50, including the super catch-up provision for ages 60–63 Real accumulation scenarios: What maxing out a 401(k) at a 6% return actually produces over 10 years — for one earner and two Expenses as the key variable: Why what you spend in retirement matters more than how much you’ve saved Wealth vs. riches: Why clients with $400,000 sometimes retire better than those with $2 million Sequence-of-returns risk: How early losses in retirement can permanently damage a portfolio — and why income investing helps avoid that trap The wealth paradox: Why taking on more risk when you’re close to your target number can do more harm than good Social Security strategy: Age 62 vs. full retirement age vs. 70 — and how to think about spousal benefits and break-even timing In-service rollovers: How to start building an income-producing portfolio while you’re still working and contributing How to prepare for your first meeting: What to bring, what to expect, and how the planning conversation actually works Key Takeaways Your expenses determine everything. The question isn’t how much you’ve saved — it’s whether what you have can cover the gap between your fixed income and your actual spending. Get clear on your expenses before anything else. Age 55 is still a strong position. You’re likely near peak earnings, kids may be off the payroll, and 401(k) catch-up rules let you contribute up to $32,500 a year — or $35,750 between ages 60 and 63. Ten years of disciplined saving can still produce meaningful income. Don’t ignore the employer match. Contributing at least enough to capture your employer’s match is a 100% guaranteed return from day one. There is no simpler, more powerful first move. Volatility is your friend while you’re accumulating — not when you’re withdrawing. During your working years, market swings let you buy more at lower prices. In retirement, a bad year early can force you to sell assets at the worst possible time. That’s the sequence-of-returns risk that ends retirement plans. Income portfolios solve a problem, growth portfolios don’t. When your portfolio pays you dividends and income, you don’t have to sell holdings to fund your lifestyle during down markets. That changes the entire risk equation. The wealth paradox: more isn’t always better if it requires more risk. If you already have the number that funds the retirement you want, adding risk for more upside isn’t rational — the downside threatens the entire plan, while the upside is just gravy. Social Security is a strategic asset, not just a check. Delaying from 62 to 70 can dramatically increase your lifetime benefit. The break-even point is roughly age 82, and a spousal benefit strategy can add another layer of optimization. You can start building income while you’re still working. An in-service rollover at age 59½ lets you move funds from your 401(k) into an IRA where they can be invested for income — so the income engine is already running when you retire.

Amanda Smith lived as a lesbian for 12 years. She dressed like a man, dated feminine women, and was convinced God had made her that way. Then, alone in a new city with nothing but a Bible her mom had given her, everything changed. Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse sits down with Amanda Smith, a staff missionary with Desert Stream Living Waters, to talk about the journey out of a lesbian identity, the real contributing factors behind same-sex attraction, and what the Church gets right — and wrong — when walking alongside people in sexual and relational brokenness.

The Supreme Court's voting rights decision is upending the midterm election and raising concerns about its role in democratic backsliding. Thomas Keck finds that the Court has rarely helped maintain democratic guardrails in threatening periods. But the Roberts Court had been showing a mixed record until recently. Albert Rivero finds that election law cases at the Supreme Court lead to more party-line voting, but the cases have stood out less as the Court has become more partisan across the board.

Before I get into why you would want to stop contributing or why that might make sense, I first want to talk about why you would want to continue contributing. For many of you -- and I would put myself in this boat as well -- it would be too scary to sit there and coast and say okay, I think I've built up enough, now I'm going to let compounding take me the rest of the way here to retirement. I like being in more control than that rather than relying on returns.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this brief episode on dry needling and what current research suggests may explain its pain-relieving effects. The episode clarifies why it's called “dry” needling (no medication injected) and emphasizes the importance of being able to explain why it may help patients. Dry needling is presented as working locally and systemically through four main mechanisms: local muscle and tissue effects, biomechanical and inflammatory biomarker changes, peripheral and spinal pain modulation, and supraspinal/autonomic pathways. We also discuss who this is appropriate for, and how to combine it with other techniques to help our patients get to their goals successfully.00:00 Welcome to PTs Snacks00:48 Why Dry Needling Matters01:15 What It Is and Isn't02:39 Four Mechanisms Overview03:24 Local Tissue Effects04:19 Inflammation Biomarkers05:14 Spinal Pain Modulation06:35 Autonomic Brain Pathways07:16 Who Should Avoid It07:58 Patient Education and Training08:52 Wrap Up and Next StepsNeed CEUs?Unlock unlimited online courses, live webinars, and certification-prep programs with MedBridge.

Is it possible to help your adult children in a way that actually keeps them from growing? It's a difficult question, but an important one. Many parents want to support their children well, especially when their children face setbacks, financial stress, or uncertain times. Yet the way we offer help can shape not only their circumstances, but also their character. The goal isn't simply to make life easier. It's to help in ways that strengthen them rather than sideline them. When Love Needs Wisdom For many parents, this is a tender place to stand. You love your children deeply. You want to see them flourish. And when they struggle, every instinct says, Step in and fix it. That instinct often comes from a good place. But even good instincts need wisdom. Consider a baby bird hatching from its shell. It may seem compassionate to help it break free, but if you intervene too soon, the bird may not survive. The struggle of pushing through the shell is essential. It develops the strength and coordination needed for life outside the egg. The struggle isn't the problem. It's part of the preparation. In the same way, when we remove every difficulty from our children's lives, we may step in at the very moment when growth is meant to happen. When Support Slowly Becomes Dependence Most parental help begins with simple acts of care: Covering an unexpected bill Helping with a car repair Letting them move back home Offering temporary financial support None of these is inherently wrong. In many cases, they are loving and appropriate responses. But over time, those moments can accumulate. And eventually the question changes from How can I help? to Is this actually helping? Are you helping them move forward—or delaying lessons they need to learn? Are you offering support—or carrying responsibilities that now belong to them? That tension is real, and one of the hardest parts of parenting adult children is knowing when to step back. Support in Ways That Move Them Forward Healthy support should encourage progress, not prolong immaturity. This is an act of stewardship—not only of your resources, but of their formation. The goal is not to eliminate every hardship. Often, maturity takes root in the soil of challenge. Consider tying support to clear next steps, such as: Progress toward employment Pursuing education or training Contributing to household responsibilities Taking increasing ownership of personal expenses Working toward specific financial goals Support like this doesn't replace responsibility. It reinforces it. An adult child living at home is not automatically a sign of failure. Throughout history, including biblical times, multigenerational living was common and remains normal in many cultures today. The better question is not Where are they living? But are they growing in responsibility? Are they contributing? Learning? Planning? Taking steps toward independence? Those are the indicators that matter most. Burdens and Loads: Knowing the Difference Scripture offers a helpful framework for discerning when to step in and when to step back.  Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one another's burdens.” Yet Galatians 6:5 says, “For each will have to bear his own load.” So which is it? The answer is both. A burden is something too heavy to carry alone—a crisis, deep hardship, or overwhelming circumstance. A load is the ordinary responsibility each person is meant to carry—daily choices, obligations, and personal stewardship. This distinction is helpfully explained in Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. They note that healthy relationships require clarity about what belongs to us and what belongs to someone else. Wisdom is knowing the difference. When parents consistently carry what belongs to their adult children, they may relieve pressure in the moment—but unintentionally prevent the growth that responsibility can produce. Protect Your Marriage and Financial Foundation Before offering significant financial help, it's wise to pause and talk with your spouse. Pray together. Discuss what you can realistically give, what you cannot sustain, and what patterns you want to avoid. Unity matters. So does financial stability. Just as flight attendants remind passengers to secure their own oxygen mask first, you need to protect your own financial foundation if you hope to help others well. Helping your children should not come at the expense of wise stewardship or unnecessary strain in your marriage. Trust God With Their Story Supporting adult children isn't about getting every decision perfectly right. It's about faithfully stewarding your role in this season—with wisdom, grace, and trust. God is at work in their lives even more than you are. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is help. Sometimes it is to wait. Sometimes it is to say no. And often, the greatest gift you can offer is not rescue—but the opportunity to grow through responsibility, perseverance, and dependence on the Lord. Want to Go Deeper?

What happens when success looks right from the outside, but feels empty on the inside?In this soulful conversation, Florian Kemmerich, impact investor, author, and purpose-driven educator, joins Mirror Talk to explore how we can align our purpose with our profession before burnout, emptiness, or misalignment begins to define our lives.Through his book On Vocation, Florian invites us to rethink success, vocation, responsibility, and meaningful contribution. He shares why stress, confusion, and dissatisfaction are not always signs of failure. Sometimes, they are signals calling us back to ourselves.Together, we explore vocation, inner child work, impact investing, ethical leadership, the future of work in the age of AI, and how to build a life that reflects who we truly are.In This Episode, We Discuss:The difference between vocation, career, and external successWhy high-achieving people often feel inwardly disconnectedHow stress and dissatisfaction can become signals for realignmentThe role of inner child reflection in self-discoveryHow AI can support human purpose instead of replacing itWhy money should be seen as a means, not an endWhat impact investing teaches us about dignity, service, and stewardshipHow to move from reflection to responsibilityThe first honest steps toward rebuilding a life that feels trueKey Takeaways:Vocation is not just what you do. It is how you bring your whole self into meaningful contribution.Burnout and emptiness often reveal a deeper need for alignment.True success requires inner grounding, not only achievement.AI should be used as a tool to enhance human creativity, purpose, and agency.Purpose is often discovered through reflection, responsibility, and courageous action.Money matters, but it becomes dangerous when it becomes the final goal.A meaningful life is built patiently through honest self-inquiry and service.Powerful Quotes:“Money is a means, not an end.”“Take responsibility and own your life.”“Contributing to the world bigger than me.”Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Vocation and Purpose02:37 The Importance of Finding Peace in Vocation05:00 The Role of AI in Human Agency07:28 The Journey of Self-Discovery09:56 Understanding the Inner Child12:50 The Disconnect Between Success and Self-Realization15:23 Impacting Lives Through Vocation17:41 The Role of Parenting in Career Choices20:13 Connecting with the Inner Child23:05 Identifying Vocation and Next Steps23:23 Exploring Nigerian Culture and Identity23:57 Exercises for Self-Discovery and Identity27:54 Peeling the Onion: Childhood Memories and Their Impact29:59 Finding Purpose Beyond Money33:54 Navigating Career Choices in the Age of AI36:52 Stress, Confusion, and the Pursuit of Purpose41:38 Taking Responsibility for Your Life43:25 Connecting with Florian and Resources for GrowthResources:Florian Kemmerich's Website: https://on-vocation.comBook: On Vocation by Florian KemmerichVocating App: https://on-vocation.com/vocating-appGuest:Florian KemmerichConnect With Florian:Website: https://on-vocation.comListen to Mirror Talk:Website: https://mirrortalkpodcast.comClosing Reflection:If you have been chasing success but quietly wondering whether the life you are building truly belongs to you, this episode is an invitation to pause, listen, and realign.
