Shifting from Wealth Building to Retirement Withdrawal: How Do You Adjust Asset Allocation?

Finance Investing & Wealth

I’ve been focusing on growing my portfolio for years, but now that retirement is on the horizon, I’m rethinking my approach. How do you balance risk and stability when shifting from accumulation to distribution? I want to keep some growth potential but also protect against market downturns that could hurt my withdrawals.

Do you lean more toward bonds, dividend stocks, or other income-generating assets? Or do you prefer a dynamic approach where you adjust based on market conditions? Curious to hear how others have navigated this transition what’s worked (or hasn’t) for you?

Like a garden shifting from spring’s wild blooms to autumn’s steady harvest, I blend dividend stocks for gentle growth and bonds for roots that hold firm. A touch of dynamism keeps the soil rich, adjusting as seasons change.

Ugh, sounds like my grandpa’s boring investment talk. Can we get back to celeb drama instead? :cherry_blossom::money_with_wings:
