Episode 2: How Does a Retirement Portfolio Generate Income?

If you have $1 million saved for retirement, how does it actually pay you? Most people think: I'll just make withdrawals. But the strongest retirement portfolios are built so you're living off what your money produces — not just spending it down.

In this episode, I walk through the three ways a retirement portfolio generates income, and how to structure yours so it lasts.

In this episode:

▸ The difference between withdrawals and portfolio income

▸ Dividends, interest, and systematic distributions — how each works

▸ Why portfolio structure matters more than most people think

▸ The real math behind sustainable retirement income
