Join Alex and I TODAY, September 9, from 12–1:30 PM ET for a live Retire With Style YouTube Q&A. We’ll be answering your retirement planning questions, including Social Security, tax planning, and investment strategies. Reply to this email and we'll add it to the list or you can submit your question directly here. | | | | Hi Jan,
Episode 245 of our Retire With Style podcast is out now!
In this week's episode of Retire with Style, Alex and I answer more of your retirement planning questions, including how to decide where your retirement income should come from when markets are down.
One listener asks about a strategy that uses portfolio withdrawals during normal markets and switches to fixed assets during downturns. We discuss how a volatility buffer can help manage sequence-of-returns risk, why clear rules matter, and why changing your source of spending is different from changing your asset allocation.
We also explore how to build a Social Security delay bridge using TIPS ladders or annuities, how spending may change throughout retirement, and how to plan for potential long-term care expenses.
If you're thinking about how to make your retirement income strategy more resilient, this episode offers several practical considerations. Listen now to learn more!
