You Will Discover

Your “do-no-harm” principles
The straightforward rules that keep you focused: cut costs, limit strategies (2-3 max), and prioritize simplicity—especially in later years.

Cash wedge—correctly sized
Why you should hold approximately 3 years of the gap (the shortfall of your portfolio) instead of 3 years of all expenses, how to fund it, and replenish it after prosperous years.

Sustainable withdrawal policy
Embrace a total-return approach (liquidate a few units in favorable conditions, utilize the wedge in downturns) rather than pursuing high yields—plus how to add flexibility (5-6% with adjustments) without overwhelming the plan.

Purposeful fixed income
When GIC/bond ladders and preferred stocks are advantageous, when they aren’t, and how to avoid long-term instability from safety.

Preventing overlap & product overflow
Identify duplication when merging all-in-one ETFs with dividend ETFs or covered calls—achieve genuine diversification, not merely additional tickers.

Rebalancing & evaluations—yearly
Revitalize your strategy each year: refresh projections, rebalance targets, and confirm risk tolerance before the next downturn.

Taxes as a secondary consideration
A simple withdrawal sequence outperforms complicated strategies. Employ tax optimization to bolster a solid plan—not to add unnecessary complexity.

“Be the firm”
Reduce product fees, manage your income stream, and retain control over your finances.
