Mike and Al explains why investors should focus on inflation-adjusted (real) returns rather than headline (nominal) gains, since inflation, taxes, and fees can quietly erode performance. They compare how cash/CDs, bonds, and equities stack up after inflation over time and what that means for retirement income planning. The episode outlines practical tactics like diversified allocation, being fee-aware, and considering inflation-hedging tools to protect purchasing power. The takeaway: judge your portfolio and advisor by real progress toward goals, not just market rallies.
