Episode notes
Avoid Halfway Allocation Mixes
- Holding a large total-market slice alongside granular tilts defeats the point of a deliberate allocation.
- Be consistent: either pick granular asset classes or accept a simpler total-market allocation.
Rebalance Taxable Accounts Via Contributions
- Rebalance taxable accounts by directing new contributions toward underweighted assets.
- Avoid selling taxable holdings when possible to prevent unnecessary capital gains taxes.
Target Rental Mortgages To Boost Retirement Cash Flow
- Prioritize paying down high-rate adjustable-mortgage rental properties before retirement.
- Snowball extra savings toward the smallest or highest-rate mortgages to free future cash flow.
