Retirement investing can bring many questions, especially when your savings need to support your lifestyle for decades. How do you balance growth, income, taxes, and market uncertainty when planning for life after work?

In this episode, I share my recent webinar from the New York Public Library’s Investing A-Z program, in which I discuss seven essential strategies for investing in retirement. I explain how a financial plan should guide investment decisions, why inflation can affect long-term purchasing power, and how retirees can think differently about market risk. I also cover the role of stocks, dividend growth investing, tax planning strategies, Roth conversions, charitable giving, and important questions to consider when working with a financial advisor. 

Throughout the presentation, I focus on creating a thoughtful approach to retirement investing that connects financial decisions with the lifestyle you want to support.

Key points:

• How a financial plan can guide retirement investment decisions instead of focusing only on portfolio performance
• Why inflation and rising costs can affect retirement income needs over several decades of life
• How retirees can measure investment risk by considering years of income during market downturns
• The role of stocks, dividend growth investing, and long-term thinking in retirement portfolios
• How tax strategies, Roth conversions, and charitable giving may influence retirement planning decisions
• And more!
