2 Most Common Retirement Mistakes [Ep. 46]

from Retire Stronger · host John Foard and Bill Kearney

Most retirement portfolio mistakes don’t come from reckless investing — they come from doing what used to work.In this episode of Retire Stronger, John Foard and Bill Kearney break down the two most common retirement portfolio mistakes they’re seeing right now — mistakes being made by disciplined, successful investors who believe the strategies that got them to retirement will also carry them through it.Using real-world case studies, they explain why retirement portfolios must be built differently once paychecks stop, how sequence-of-return risk quietly destroys income plans, and why cookie-cutter portfolios often leave millions of dollars on the table over a 25–30 year retirement.If you’re approaching retirement or already retired, this episode will challenge how you think about risk, returns, and what your portfolio is actually supposed to do.📞 Questions about your portfolio?
