Retire With Style Episode 134 YouTube Live Q&A (not really): Answering Your Questions about Portfolio Allocation in Retirement
In this episode, Wade and Alex answer listener questions about portfolio allocation in retirement. They discuss the impact of low yields on TIPS and how it affects a retiree's portfolio. They also explore the optimal allocation of assets in taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-avoided accounts. Additionally, they address the role of annuities in retirement income and how they can replace the bond portion of a portfolio. They emphasize the importance of tax diversification and asset location. Finally, they provide insights on investing in stocks and the different factors to consider, such as value, small-cap, and REITs.
