America's debt continues to climb, inflation remains a threat to household budgets, and millions of Americans are approaching retirement without a plan. In this episode of Two Mikes, financial strategist Joel Lombardi, founder of Ironhawk Financial, joins Dr. Michael Scheuer and Colonel Mike to discuss wealth preservation, retirement planning, inflation, estate planning, long-term care protection, taxes, government spending, and the growing financial challenges facing American families. The conversation explores America's debt crisis, the declining purchasing power of the dollar, rising energy costs, geopolitical instability, and why many Americans remain financially vulnerable despite decades of saving and investing. Lombardi explains how wealthy families use financial planning tools to protect assets, reduce risk, preserve generational wealth, and prepare for uncertain economic conditions. He also discusses common mistakes retirees make, the risks facing traditional retirement accounts, and the importance of planning before a crisis occurs.
