Summary
In this episode, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the concept of true liquidity and its importance in retirement planning. They explain that true liquidity goes beyond cash reserves and savings, and involves considering what assets will be accessible and how to turn them into income during retirement. They highlight the risks of relying solely on market-based assets for income in retirement and the potential for compounding losses. The hosts introduce the concept of true liquidity as a way to mitigate these risks by having a separate bucket of money that is not correlated with the market. They provide examples and calculations to illustrate the impact of true liquidity on retirement outcomes. They emphasize the need to start building true liquidity before retirement to ensure flexibility and avoid relying on market performance during critical years.
