If you want to retire and are looking for guidance don't just find someone smart. There are plenty of smart advisors with plenty of smart ideas. It's been my experience that smart by itself, isn't enough. If you want to retire successfully, it's better to seek out wisdom.

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know that just ain't so."

In this episode, I discuss some of the value a wise advisor can bring to your financial life. Including:

Finding blindspots in your retirement plan
Bring perspective learned from walking the journey with others on the same path
Creative solutions to your unique life
Manage emotions that can derail the best laid plan to retire
Diligence to help you address the right issues,
Consistent communication to assure the right conversations happen in the right frequency so you can make adjustments as your life unfolds

Listener Question
One question I had is if the Monte Carlo model factors in the different investment bucket assumptions. My assumption is it assumes the regular draw out amounts occurs evenly between the buckets in good times and bad. If this is the case then not drawing on the equity bucket during bad time will help to increase the likelihood of not running out of money in retirement. Please clarify. Thanks, Monte
