A number of years ago I worked through your Retirement series and it was extremely useful for me. I gave up my career 30 years ago to be a stay at home mom to three, so financial planning was really important. I am happy to say that in the intervening years since reading that series and figuring how much more we needed to save, good market returns have secured our retirement. <br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-31121364206037385862022-06-08T16:16:04.552-04:002022-06-08T16:16:04.552-04:00Hi Anon, that is a great question, you should try ...Hi Anon, that is a great question, you should try asking Kitces or Pfau on their blogs. For all intents and purposes, the glidepath acted like an equity portfolio this year, diminishing its intended benefit, so my gut feel is you are correct, it would still hold but with diminished benefit, since the intent of the glidepath was to reduce the sequence of returns risk, which it did not accomplish, at least over a one year period.

It would be interesting to hear their comments on that strategy in the current market with bonds being down so far this year. I wonder will the future expected increases from bonds due to the higher rates offset the short term loses this year and will that strategy still hold, albeit with somewhat of a diminished effect?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-83631112873197179922022-06-03T09:25:39.599-04:002022-06-03T09:25:39.599-04:00Thanks for the great stuff, keep it coming!Thanks for the great stuff, keep it coming!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
