In this episode of Retire with Style, Alex Murguia and Wade Pfau explore how buffer assets can help manage sequence risk in retirement. They discuss different types of buffer assets—including cash, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGAs), and whole life insurance—and examine the trade-offs involved with each. Wade also shares insights on the evolving role of reverse mortgages in retirement planning, emphasizing the importance of weighing costs and long-term implications when incorporating these tools into a financial strategy. Takeaways Buffer assets help manage sequence risk by providing a safety net. Cash, HELOCs, and life insurance can serve as buffer assets. HELOCs may not be reliable during market downturns. MIGAs can be considered buffer assets under certain conditions. CDs can also function as buffer assets if withdrawal penalties are minimal. Reverse mortgages offer unique advantages but come with costs. The perception of reverse mortgages has evolved over time. Long-term care costs can be partially covered by reverse mortgages. Whole life insurance allows borrowing against cash value. Understanding the terms of financial products is crucial for effective planning.   Chapters 00:00Introduction and Overview of Sequence Risk 02:24Understanding Buffer Assets 05:32Exploring Alternatives: HELOCs and Other Options 08:51Evaluating Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MIGAs) as Buffer Assets 10:51The Role of CDs and Fixed Indexed Annuities 13:27The Case Against Gold as a Buffer Asset 16:12Reverse Mortgages: Risks and Benefits 19:19Changing Perceptions of Reverse Mortgages 22:31Long-Term Care and Reverse Mortgages 25:38Whole Life Insurance Loans and Their Implications   Links Explore the New RetireWithStyle.com!

America faces a critical shortage that threatens our future—not just of workers, but of citizens who value productive labor and possess the skills to perform it. Drawing from Jeffrey A. Tucker's analysis, we examine how we've created generations that prefer entertainment consumption over meaningful contribution, and why traditional immigration isn't the solution.At the heart of this crisis lies our misguided educational approach. We keep children in classrooms for far too long, teaching them little of practical value while denying them opportunities to develop real-world skills. When FDR banned child labor in 1936, he unintentionally eliminated critical entry points for teenagers to develop work ethic and practical experience. Today's youth enter adulthood with theoretical knowledge but minimal practical capability.This problem reflects our cultural priorities. We celebrate entertainers, athletes, and social media influencers while overlooking the true heroes—the skilled tradespeople, dedicated parents, and ordinary citizens who faithfully fulfill their responsibilities. Our children inevitably absorb these values, assuming that fame trumps meaningful contribution. Meanwhile, an expansive welfare system has removed the necessity of work for many, creating generations with diminished incentive to develop marketable skills.Most fundamentally, this represents a spiritual crisis. America's greatness has always stemmed from its relationship with God and Jesus Christ—not from material wealth or technological advancement. As John Quincy Adams noted, the "highest glory of the American Revolution" was connecting "in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity." When we sever this connection, we lose the spiritual foundation that gives meaning to work and responsibility.The solution begins with examining our own priorities. What are you giving your time to? Your actions reveal your true values more accurately than your words. As parents, are we modeling productivity and responsibility? As citizens, are we honoring those who contribute meaningfully rather than those who merely entertain? Our national renewal depends on rediscovering the dignity of work, the importance of practical skills, and the spiritual foundation that makes America truly great.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

What do your actions say about your faith? Jesse Cope dives into a powerful challenge from his pastor: if someone watched how you lived your daily life as a spouse, parent, or Christian, would they actually want what you have? This question cuts to the heart of authenticity in our faith journeys.The disconnect between what we profess and how we allocate our time speaks volumes. Many believers give hours to social media, sports, and entertainment while claiming they have no energy left for their families or spiritual disciplines. Jesse makes the provocative point that this misalignment of priorities is its own form of unfaithfulness – perhaps not physical infidelity, but giving our best to things rather than the people and purposes God has called us to prioritize.Through an exploration of Revelation 20, we confront the reality that believers will be judged "according to their deeds." This isn't about earning salvation, but rather how our earthly choices impact our eternal experience, connecting directly to Jesus's teaching about storing treasures in heaven. The podcast also challenges listeners to consider persecuted Christians worldwide when forming political opinions, particularly regarding conflicts in the Middle East where believers face imprisonment, torture, and execution for their faith.The episode weaves in powerful historical examples through Medal of Honor recipients' stories and accounts from Fox's Book of Martyrs, providing sobering context for understanding religious freedom and the high cost many have paid for their convictions. These narratives serve as both inspiration and warning – reminding us that our faith should be evident not in empty words, but in consistent, Christ-honoring actions that would make others want what we have.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Isaiah Menning, of the American Conservation Coalition, joins Josh to discuss how de-extinction techniques, like the ones recently used to resurrect the dire wolf, should be viewed as a new tool in the conservationist's toolbox.  They should not be feared or fought by conservationists or environmental groups.  Instead, they should be embraced and used to assist species on the endangered list to not only survive but thrive, once again.    Isaiah's article at Real Clear Energy:   De-Extinction Is Conservation | RealClearEnergy   Follow Isaiah on X and at Young Voices:    https://x.com/isaiahmenning?s=21&t=S8JoQpY3m4n6bFrTo8tLrg   https://www.joinyv.org/talent/isaiah-menning   Links:   https://gml.bio.link/   YOUTUBE:   https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv   RUMBLE:   https://rumble.com/c/GML   Check out Martens Minute!   https://martensminute.podbean.com/   Follow Josh Martens on X:   https://twitter.com/joshmartens13   Join the private discord & chat during the show!   joingml.com
