Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, Billy and Andrew tackle one of the most overlooked risks in retirement planning and it’s not about how much you save.
You can do everything right. Save diligently, live within your means, build a solid nest egg. And still run out of money sooner than expected simply because of when markets fall.
They break down why the first few years of drawing down your super are the most financially vulnerable of your retirement and what you can actually do about it.
If you’re within 5 years of retiring, already retired, or helping someone who is, this episode could be the most important one you listen to this year.
