🎥 Episode 4: Managing Income in a Recession – What Smart Retirees Do Differently
When markets turn volatile, it’s not just your investments that are at risk—
it’s your retirement paycheck.
In Episode 4 of Retirement in a Recession, I break down exactly how smart retirees structure their income during downturns using:
Strategic short-term, mid-term, and long-term "bucket" planning
A guardrail approach to stay flexible with withdrawals
Real-time risk management focused on resilience, not panic
📉 In a recession, rigid withdrawal plans can backfire—and retirees who blindly follow "buy and hold" are often the ones forced to sell low.
Smart retirees?
They adjust.
They plan ahead.
And they build income strategies that can bend without breaking.
🧠 What you'll learn in this episode:
Why retirement requires a different mindset about cash flow
How a dynamic withdrawal plan can preserve your assets during volatility
Why flexibility and proactive adjustments matter more than ever right now
