Tue Jan 27 2026

In this episode of the Florida Retirement Podcast, financial advisor Murrell Winter breaks down the hidden risks of dead money—cash sitting in banks, low‑yield accounts, or underperforming assets that lose purchasing power to inflation. Using real‑world examples and even lessons from financial history, Murrell explains how inflation quietly erodes wealth and why holding too much cash can create a false sense of security. The conversation explores smarter ways to position money so it stays flexible, productive, and aligned with long‑term goals, including enhanced money markets, fixed strategies, and growth assets.
