Mar 2, 2026 They argue that investing should match when you need the money, not how old you are. A simple three-bucket framework sorts cash needs by 0–2, 2–10, and 10+ year horizons. Real-life scenarios show identical ages can require different allocations. The show also covers sequence-of-returns risk, a glide-path rule for midterm goals, and the ten investing terms worth knowing.

Episode notes
Two 60 Year Olds With Opposite Allocations
- Two 60‑year‑olds with $2M illustrate the flaw: one retired with pension (money for legacy), one needs funds in two years (living expenses).
- Tyler shows the retiree should be aggressive while the soon-to-retire must de-risk to avoid sequence risk.
Younger Goal Can Be More Conservative
- A 30‑year‑old saving for a house in 18 months and a 70‑year‑old saving for a trip in 10 years reverse expected aggressiveness.
- Tyler warns the younger saver should be in cash to avoid losing down payment to a market drop.
Use A Glide Path For Medium Goals
- Bucket two (2–10 years) uses a glide path: years until goal = percent in stocks (e.g., 6 years = 60% stocks, 40% bonds).
- Shift toward bonds as you approach two years and start migrating to bucket one before the goal.
