Here's why.
voice-verified
If the market drops 30% in your first year of retirement and you withdraw $80,000 anyway, you've withdrawn $80,000 from a portfolio that's already shrunk to $700,000 from a million.
voice-verified
You've reduced your remaining portfolio not just by the drop and not just by the withdrawal, but by the interaction of the two.
voice-verified
That $80,000 you withdrew is now 11.4% of the remaining portfolio instead of 8%.
voice-verified
You've effectively raised your withdrawal rate by selling assets at the worst possible price.
voice-verified
Now, if in contrast, the market drops 30% in your 10th year, same withdrawal pattern, same average returns over the full retirement, the damage is dramatically less.
voice-verified
Because by year 10, your portfolio has had nine more years to compound.
voice-verified
The 30% drop hits a much larger base.
voice-verified
The forced withdrawal during the drop is a much smaller percentage of the remaining portfolio.
voice-verified
The portfolio recovers and continues to fund your life.
voice-verified
Same returns, same withdrawals, different outcomes.
voice-verified
The only variable is when the drop happens.
voice-verified
Now, here's the part that almost nobody draws out properly.
voice-verified
The real danger window is actually quite short.
voice-verified
The vast majority of sequence of returns risk in a 30-year retirement is concentrated in the first 5 to 10 years.
voice-verified
By year 15, sequence risk has largely burned off.
voice-verified
Either you've encountered a bad market and absorbed it through your cash buffer, or you haven't and your portfolio is now large enough that future downturns are absorbable.
voice-verified
This is a counterintuitive and underappreciated truth.
voice-verified
People assume retirement risk is uniform, that every year of retirement is equally fraught.
voice-verified
It isn't.
