Not Your Dad’s Portfolio Part 1

The 60/40 portfolio is dead, and nobody noticed. No headlines. No CNBC tribute. Just a quiet funeral for the financial strategy that built America’s middle class while Wall Street quietly dragged its corpse around like Weekend at Bernie’s.In this episode, we unpacks how the so-called “balanced portfolio” became a weapon of control, a myth sold to workers as safety while feeding Wall Street billions in fees. From the false promises of diversification to the illusion of retirement security, this is the autopsy of a system that stopped serving the people it was supposed to protect.The Funeral Nobody Attended isn’t about stocks or bonds, it’s about trust, belief, and the slow collapse of financial stories that no longer hold up. Because what died wasn’t just a portfolio. It was a mindset. Thanks for listening to Beyond the Workforce.
