## Resource

Most retirement advice tells you to survive market swings with more diversification, more bonds, more cash on the sidelines. I'm going to show you why that entire premise is backwards. Here's the uncomfortable truth: a 20% drop doesn't hurt you. Being forced to sell into that drop does. And the traditional retirement model all but guarantees that moment arrives. There's even a name for it in the research, and two retirees with the identical average return can have wildly different outcomes based on nothing but timing. In this video, I put two models side by side using a real $3 million portfolio. One is the drawdown plan your advisor recommends. The other is the evergreen structure the ultra-wealthy actually build. Same income. Completely different outcome. And when I show you what the wealthiest families keep in the public markets, it's going to surprise you. If you have $1M–$30M and you're serious about income that ignores the market's mood, watch to the end. Let's keep building.
