About this episode

What happens to your retirement plan when life refuses to follow the script? In this episode, Jim Fox explains why flexibility is an important part of retirement planning. Using his bucket strategy approach, Jim discusses how retirees can prepare for market volatility, income needs, unexpected expenses, and major life events without relying on a rigid financial roadmap. He also shares why planning for multiple scenarios, rather than a single outcome, can help create more options and reduce stress when retirement challenges arise.
