EP 30: Your Greatest Retirement Risk


Listen Later

Between 2010 and 2030, the Baby Boomer generation (estimated at 73 million individuals) is retiring at a rate of 10,000 people per day, and while each of these individuals likely looks toward their new found freedom with excitement, they also face significant challenges. One of the most significant challenges is ensuring their money lasts throughout retirement.

When asked about the most likely reason they may run out of money, most retirees will say a significant market decline that reduces the value of their investment accounts. However, history shows that inflation and the loss of purchasing power over time is likely a more significant risk.

In this episode, we discuss how retirees can balance the risk of market fluctuations with the loss of purchasing power as they construct a portfolio to last throughout their lifetime.
