Redefine Retirement with Ryan WhelessEd Slott’s Terrifying Prediction + Karsten Jeske’s Revelation on Taxes + Mark Henry Sounds the Alarm on PensionThe "best of" episode of the Redefine Retirement podcast, hosted by Ryan Wheless, features insights from prominent guests Ed Slott (IRA/tax expert), Karsten Jeske (early retirement blogger known as Big Ern), and Mark Henry (financial advisor and Alloy Wealth founder).

He highlights how modern temptations and lack of immediate rewards make saving feel invisible and unrewarding, while spending gets instant gratification, and stresses the importance of starting ea...

Walser argues that the 401(k), originally designed in the late 1970s as an executive retention tool amid 70% tax rates, became America's default retirement vehicle by accident—never mathematically tested for average workers—and has contributed to a massive $17–$25 trillion savings gap and impending tax crisis as baby boomers retire. With current rates historically low and future middle-class taxes potentially soaring to the mid-60s per CBO projections, she warns against over-relying on pre-tax accounts and ur...
