How much cash should you really hold in retirement?

Too little cash can create stress and force poor decisions during market downturns. Too much cash can quietly erode a well-built retirement plan through inflation, taxes, and lost growth.

In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, breaks down how to think about retirement cash reserves in 2026, including:

• How much cash is actually enough in retirement — and when it becomes too much
• How interest rates change the cash trade-off in 2026
• Where cash really lives inside a well-built portfolio (not just checking and savings accounts)

This conversation is designed for people approaching retirement or already retired who want to make smarter, more intentional cash decisions — without chasing yields or taking unnecessary risk.
