You Retire… Then Lose Half Your Money. Now What?

The Dollars & Sense Podcast

About

This year, tens of thousands of Kiwis will reach retirement age — but how much does timing really matter? 


In this episode, I break down three real retirement scenarios using the same $2M portfolio across very different market conditions. The results might surprise you — and challenge how you think about risk, timing, and what actually makes a plan successful.
