Скачать или смотреть How Much Cash Is Too Much in Retirement

A retired couple lost $180,000 in purchasing power over ten years — not from bad investments, but from keeping too much money in cash.

They thought they were being safe. But that "safe" money was quietly bleeding value every single year.

In this video, we break down:
→ Why cash isn't as safe as it feels
→ The real math behind inflation drag
→ How much cash you actually need in retirement
→ Three scenarios: cash hoarder vs. balanced vs. bucket strategy
→ The 12-24 month rule for emergency funds
→ When keeping cash costs more than market risk

No opinions. Just the math.
