Welcome to The Retirement Navigator: Retirement Advice for Real People with Real Budgets

Are you tired of retirement advice that assumes you're wealthy?

Welcome to The Retirement Navigator, the podcast for hardworking Americans who need practical retirement guidance—whether you're starting with $500 or $500,000 saved.

I'm Kwame Kuadey, creator of Benefits Insider, where I've helped over 250,000 people maximize their Social Security and Medicare benefits. While other retirement experts chase wealthy clients, I help real people with real budgets retire with dignity.

In this introductory episode, you'll discover:

• Why most retirement advice doesn't apply to middle-class Americans
• The harsh reality facing 60% of retirees (and what to do about it)
• How to maximize Social Security, Medicare, and government benefits you've earned
• What to expect from this podcast and how it's different from everything else out there

This show is for you if:

• You're ages 50+ and approaching or in retirement
• Your household income is $40,000-$80,000 annually
• You have modest retirement savings (or are starting from scratch)
• You need Social Security and Medicare to work for you, not against you
• You're looking for practical strategies, not theoretical investment advice

Coming up next week: The biggest Social Security mistake I see people make—and the simple fix that could add $30,000 to your lifetime benefits.
