Saving for retirement is one challenge—figuring out how to invest once withdrawals begin is another. In this episode, Frankie Guida explains why retirement requires a shift in investment mindset, especially when income is coming from the portfolio. The discussion covers balancing market risk, planning for withdrawals, and why investment strategies that worked during working years may not translate the same way in retirement. Listeners will also hear how risk tolerance, market declines, and timing can influence long‑term outcomes once retirement begins.
