It’s Sunday, which means...It’s recap time! This week’s theme was why inflation matters in retirement. Inflation, although low right now, can seriously jeopardize your retirement if you don’t understand it, appreciate it, and take steps to minimize its impact on your investment portfolio and your lifestyle in retirement.

Here’s what we covered in each episode this week:

• What is inflation and why it’s so important
• Portfolio Returns Required To Keep Up With Inflation
• Worried About Inflation? Avoid This Mistake In Retirement
• Is Higher Inflation Coming? 
• Bulwarks Against Inflation

My hope is that you come away from this week with a better understanding of this important and often overlooked topic, and how you can avoid the perils of ignoring inflation in retirement. 

Tomorrow, we are starting a brand new theme: 5 types of bonds to own now. With interest rates so low, a lot of investors are frustrated with the low yields and low income on bonds. But don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater! I’ll talk about 5 types of bonds that I’ve been buying for my clients, and opportunities that still exist for bond investors today. 

And if you haven’t already, be sure to check out my YouTube channel - True North Retirement, where I cover a wide variety of retirement planning topics and starting with this week’s video,I’ll be doing a livestream on this week’s topic, which is going live today.  So if you didn’t get enough on inflation this week, be sure to head on over to True North Retirement at 9am pacific/12pm eastern today, when this week’s live stream will be broadcast. 

That’s it for this week! Thanks for listening and I hope you have a blessed Sunday!
