A lifetime of inflation-protected income. That’s the dream nearly all investors share. Luckily, for most of us who are alive today, there’s probably never been a better time than right now to start making that dream a reality. Investors are feeling like they’re stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Should they risk their capital in the equity markets, and hope for the best? Or should they try to find a way to live on the 1% or 2% interest they can garner from “safer” investments?
I would argue that there is another option. What would happen if we changed our focus from securing a specific amount of capital, to securing a steady stream of inflation-protected income, which would meet our financial needs for the rest of our lives? If you adopt an income focus rather than a capital-focused view, the investment landscape starts to look a whole lot different.
