About this episode

Could the first few years of retirement have a bigger impact on your financial future than decades of investing? In this episode, Jon Hicks discusses recession indicators, market uncertainty, and the concept of sequence of returns risk. He explains why market downturns early in retirement can affect income strategies differently than they do during the accumulation years, and why retirement planning extends beyond investment performance alone. The conversation also explores income planning, portfolio structure, tax diversification, and the importance of preparing for different market environments as retirement approaches.   Schedule your complimentary appointment today: RetirementSolutionShow.com   Follow us on social media: YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
