A one‑in‑three chance of recession may not sound certain—but it can feel very real nearing retirement. In this episode, Tim Wood explains why even a small probability of market downturns matters when you only get one chance to retire. The conversation explores sequence‑of‑returns risk, the importance of protecting income, and why understanding retirement terms like RMDs, IRMAA, and longevity risk can shape long‑term outcomes. Tim also discusses common planning mistakes, how to reduce exposure to volatility, and why building a strategy that prioritizes income can help bring clarity in uncertain markets.
