Lessons From Fly Fishing:

1:45 When Going Fishing, Know What You Need

  • Certain fishing trips require certain gear.
  • Your trip won’t always go as planned.
  • In retirement, know what you’ll need, and adjust your plan accordingly.

4:23 Work With A Guide

  • When you go fly fishing, use a guide who knows the river.
  • In retirement, use an advisor who knows what you need to do in order to succeed in retirement.
  • Turn to advisor to help you understand the confusing elements of your portfolio.
  • Know what you’re paying your advisor. Understand what their services are costing you.

The Confidence Corner:

  • Wealth distribution planning is different than wealth accumulation.
  • Nathan explains why watching the market will drive you crazy.
  • A sound income plan will build your confidence.
