I asked myself a simple question:
“Should a Texas teacher invest the same way after retirement as they did while they were working?”
The answer isn’t as simple as becoming more conservative.
Once retirement begins, the job of your money changes. Your TRS pension, income needs, inflation, and the timing of market downturns all become part of the equation.
**The portfolio that helped you get to retirement may not be the portfolio you need to get through retirement.**
Your investment strategy should evolve in retirement.
