Managing Inflation In Your Retirement Income Plan

Hosted by Bob French, CFA

Inflation is a fact of life. In fact, in reasonable amounts, it’s a good thing for the overall economy. But it’s one of the biggest risks that retirees need to manage. Not planning for inflation means a continuous reduction in your purchasing power. By explicitly considering inflation in your plan – and taking steps to manage that risk – you can make sure that you will be able to afford the retirement that you want throughout your retirement.
