Many retirees believe being conservative with their investments will protect them, but in reality, it may be one of the biggest threats to their long term retirement success.

In this episode of Retiring Canada, we discuss how inflation, taxes, and overly conservative investment decisions can quietly erode your retirement over time.

You will learn how inflation impacts purchasing power, why after tax real rates of return matter, and how two retirees with the exact same portfolio can experience dramatically different outcomes depending on how their money is invested. We also explain why market volatility is inevitable and how proper income planning can help retirees stay disciplined during difficult periods.

This episode is for retirees and pre-retirees who want to better understand the long term risks of being too conservative and how to build a more sustainable retirement plan.
