Aaron: Have you heard of the concept of a minimum dignity floor as described in the retirement and IRA show? Hammer time! The basic premise is that any monies needed for basic food, utilities, transportation, housing, and health care should be principally protected. This strategy contains the implicit assumption that at some point in the investor's doe-dage they will no longer be willing or capable of managing their portfolio. I'm curious about your thoughts on this concept and how the risk parity style portfolio might be incorporated into a drawdown strategy with these time and risk-phased buckets.
In this episode we answer emails from Kyle, Esek and Erin. We discuss 529 plans, what is "enough" in terms of this podcast, and THEN the meta approaches to retirement planning and the importance of distinguishing portfolio construction and allocation strategies from portfolio management techniques, including a tour on the Good Ship Lollipop with the Outlaw Josey Wales. Errata: I said "Bernstein assumptions" when I meant "Bengen assumptions."
And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.
