What if there was a proven strategy to protect your retirement savings from market downturns and maximize the income you can withdraw?
In this episode, we address one of the most critical, yet overlooked challenges in retirement planning: how to handle the unpredictable sequence of returns during market downturns. Many people rely on the assumption of a steady average rate of return, but when you start withdrawing income in a bad market year, it can drastically reduce your portfolio's lifespan and limit your financial freedom. The question becomes: how do you plan for those inevitable down years while protecting your wealth and ensuring a steady, stress-free income?
Kyle and Jon break down the power of creating a cash wedge—a strategy that gives you options and confidence during downturns. Whether you're aiming for early retirement, managing investments, or just looking for a sustainable plan, this episode explores real-world scenarios and shows how cash wedges, including innovative tools like permanent insurance policies, can stabilize your income and protect your legacy.
- Learn how a cash wedge strategy can significantly increase the amount of income you can safely withdraw—even during market downturns.
- Discover why tools like permanent insurance policies offer unique benefits that traditional fixed income or HELOC strategies can’t match.
- Understand how to structure your retirement plan to reduce emotional stress and optimize your portfolio for long-term success.
