Stairs Up, Elevator Down
from The MILES Financial Show · host Billie Miles
Billie and Mark Elliott use a simple image to describe market behavior: you climb the stairs on the way up, but take the elevator on the way down, gains build slowly, losses come fast. From there they dig into why a 401(k) isn't the same thing as a pension (no guaranteed lifetime income attached), what that means for someone nearing retirement, and how a little-known option, moving 401(k) funds after age 59½ while still working, can let you protect gains before the next drop. About the show The Miles Financial Show is hosted by Billie Miles III, Founder and CEO of Miles Financial Group, an independent financial services firm in the Inland Empire serving individuals in or near retirement.
