Retirement Strategies: Setting Goals and Managing Investments
In this episode of the iWealth Podcast, Brad Connors joins the
discussion on retirement planning. The conversation begins with the
importance of setting financial goals, specifically the goal of having a
million dollars at retirement. However, Brad emphasizes that simply
reaching a financial milestone like a million dollars is not enough; one
must consider their spending needs in retirement.
Brad explains the concept of the "burn rate," which refers to the
monthly expenses individuals have during retirement. He emphasizes the
need to match the financial goal with the burn rate to ensure a
comfortable retirement. For example, a million dollars may be sufficient
for someone with a lower monthly burn rate, but it may fall short for
someone with higher expenses.
The discussion then shifts to the strategies employed during retirement.
Brad highlights the significance of transitioning from a dollar-cost
averaging approach to a more structured investment plan. He introduces
the concept of "sequence of returns," where the fluctuation of share
prices in the market affects the sustainability of retirement income.
Brad suggests having a diversified portfolio with different risk levels
and creating separate buckets for various retirement needs.
By strategically managing these buckets, retirees can make informed
decisions on which investments to sell based on market conditions. Brad
emphasizes the importance of working with a financial advisor to
establish these strategies well before retirement, as it allows for
smoother transitions and better risk management.
Throughout the episode, Brad stresses the need for personalized
retirement planning. Each individual's financial situation, goals, and
risk tolerance are unique, and a tailored approach is necessary. By
setting realistic goals, understanding the burn rate, and implementing
effective investment strategies, individuals can navigate their
retirement years with confidence and financial security.

and practical advice for individuals looking to achieve their financial
goals and navigate the complexities of retirement planning. With a focus
on personalized strategies and informed decision-making, Brad empowers
