In this episode of the Secure Your Retirement Podcast, Radon and Murs discuss whether you can truly be a fiduciary and still talk about annuities and walk through exactly when an annuity earns a place in a retirement plan versus when it doesn't.

Listen in to learn about the three-bucket strategy for organizing retirement money, why an income safety bucket targets a specific historical return range instead of chasing the market, how sequence of returns risk can quietly damage a retirement plan, and the honest, no-spin answer to the fee concerns you've probably come across online.

In this episode, find out:

• Why being a fiduciary doesn't rule out recommending an annuity, and why fit matters more than the product category itself
• The three layers of retirement spending (essential needs, wants, and wishes) and how covering the first two changes your relationship with market volatility
• How the three-bucket strategy, cash, growth, and income safety, is designed to prevent the emotional roller coaster of panic selling during a downturn
• Where the high annuity fee reputation actually comes from, and why it's mostly confined to one specific category
• Why sequence of returns risk changes the entire calculation once you're retired and withdrawing income, not just saving
