Show Notes

The fall season is upon us, and among the normal fall cleanup of a financial portfolio is an equally important but often overlooked part of retirement planning: building and maintaining an emergency fund in retirement.

This month's vignette discusses how an emergency fund can help cover unexpected expenses without forcing someone to sell investments at an unfavorable time, and why having a clear cash-reserve strategy can provide both financial flexibility and peace of mind.
