Welcome to the first 2026 edition of Understanding Money with the Noles Group! Matt McClure sits down with Danny, Parker, Chandler, and Tyler Noles to tackle retirement planning in a year already marked by elevated uncertainty. Tariff pressure, geopolitical conflicts, inflation, and an election year all create a volatile backdrop—and retirees face these conditions very differently than younger investors.
The team also discusses the expanding role of alternatives, the importance of bucket planning, how retirees can stay calm during market swings, and why good advisors act as both strategists and behavioral coaches.
The show closes with something special: the Five Habits of Happy Retirees—practical tips anyone can start using today to live more confidently, purposefully, and joyfully in retirement.
