Episode 341: Retirement Calculator Woes, Flexible Withdrawal Strategies, Creative Financing And Fixing Grandma's 19-Fund Monstrosity Portfolio

Risk Parity Radio

In this episode we talk about some recent unfavorable changes to Portfolio Visualizer, have a look at a new backtesting tool, and then get back at it with emails from James, Andrew, Phil and Frodo. We discuss how flexible withdrawal strategies improve safe withdrawal rates and how we use them as a fail-safe or backstop to our 3-1-1 plan, options for financing buying a house, a funny Avengers video and transitioning grandma's 19-fund portfolio to something simpler and better.
