Here is my query,
How many of you retired folks have reduced your risk in retirement or near retirement once you reach your financial number? If you did what was the result? Does this work in the real world, what is the Psychological benefit?
From my perspective, I can see tracking inflation with a point or so for safety as a viable approach in retirement assuming you have met retirement goals. We could extend this to investors who have almost reached their retirement number and have decided to dial down the risk factor to ensure they reach their goal.
I understand this topic may have been discussed in the past but theories and ideas evolve. So I am hopeful I will get a good response.
I am specifically interested in people who have used this technique and their thoughts.
Thanks,
ScottishCanadian
