Michael Kitces, the chief nerd at the Nerd's Eye View, discuss: The difference between achieving life goals vs. wealth maximization. Why it may make sense to get more aggressive in your allocation as you age. How the return sequence of your portfolio is more important than your average return during retirement. The equity glide path. The danger years for every retiree. You can get links to the sources mentioned in the show at rogerwhitney.com
