🎥 Episode 2: Sequence of Return Risk – The Silent Killer of Retirement Income
Welcome to Episode 2 of Retirement in a Recession—my 8-part video series created specifically for pre-retirees, near-retirees, and current retirees navigating today’s economic uncertainty.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood and dangerous retirement risks:
👉 Sequence of Return Risk
It’s the hidden factor that can quietly shorten the life of your portfolio—even if average market returns seem okay on paper.
🧠 In this video, you’ll learn:
What sequence of return risk is—and why it matters more now
How early retirement losses can have a permanent impact
Why market timing is less important than withdrawal timing
The importance of using a responsive, actively managed strategy in retirement
Real-world insight from what I saw in 2008-2009—and how those lessons shape what we do now
✅ This is the risk most retirement plans don’t account for.
And in a recession, it’s one you can’t afford to ignore.
