Episode Description from the Publisher

Are you coasting on a bull market without a true exit strategy? Many retirees are suffering from "financial amnesia"—forgetting how brutal a market crash can be once you stop making contributions and start withdrawing funds. In this episode of Retirement Coffee Talk, host Charisse Rivers of Zinnia Wealth unpacks the critical shift from accumulation to decumulation. Discover why staying in high-risk portfolios like a standard 60/40 can expose you to catastrophic sequence-of-returns risk, how hidden mutual fund fees silently erode your wealth, and why a written income plan is your best defense against market volatility.
