Stop Building Your Portfolio Around Your Age
Turning sixty-five does not automatically mean a portfolio needs more bonds.
The danger most retirees watch for is a market drop, but the one that does the most damage is quieter. A portfolio that feels safe because it barely moves can still fall behind rising costs for groceries, insurance, and health care. That gap does not show up in one dramatic moment. It builds slowly over ten, fifteen, or twenty years until it becomes a real problem.
This episode covers:
- What actually separates two retirees who share a birthday but not a risk profile
- Why market volatility gets blamed for a danger it is not actually causing
- How a portfolio that feels safe can quietly fall behind the cost of living
- Whether two to three years of cash can protect a plan from an early market drop
- What should replace age as the real driver of portfolio decisions
This episode makes the case for building a portfolio around your actual financial life instead of your age.
