The $2 Million Plan No Advisor Wants You to See - The Details

Episode Description

A simple retirement plan is easy to explain.

Living with it is harder.

In this episode, Tyler revisits his 90% stocks / 10% money market retirement strategy — not to defend it, but to answer the practical questions that matter:

When do you cut spending?
When do you increase it?
How do you rebalance without overreacting?
And how do you rebuild cash after a downturn without missing the recovery?

This is the execution episode.

In this conversation, Tyler covers:

  • How to use guardrails to adjust spending automatically

  • When to reduce withdrawals — and when to raise them

  • How often to rebalance (once a year is plenty)

  • Why you only replenish cash after markets recover

  • How automation keeps emotions out of the process

The strategy remains intentionally simple: spend from cash during downturns, rebalance annually, and let math — not headlines — drive decisions.

This episode isn’t about market timing.

It’s about having rules in place so you don’t panic when volatility shows up.

If the original 90/10 allocation made sense to you, this episode shows you how to actually stick with it.

And if the show’s been helpful, leaving a quick review on Apple or Spotify genuinely helps.

Hope this gives you something to think about this week.
