"Set It and Forget It" Is Costing You Your Retirement
Episode 212
Friday, 23 October, 2026
Your retirement plan was probably built on 10% annual returns. Vanguard now projects roughly 3.5–5.5% for the decade ahead. John Curren talks with financial planner John Grace, president of Investor's Advantage in Thousand Oaks, about what quietly breaks when the old math stops working — and the defensive, loss-limiting playbook that replaces "set it and forget it." You'll hear: • Why Grace plans around acceptable losses first — and how moving to cash kept his clients' 2008 losses under 20% while the market fell about 40% • The silent squeeze of withdrawals, RMDs, taxes, inflation, and longer lifespans on a plan built for 10% • Why Yale's endowment holds only about 3% in US stocks, and what real diversification means inside a 401(k) Connect with John Grace: https://whybepoor.com Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@aswiftkickintheassshow Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-swift-kick-in-the-ass-personal-growth-resilience-podcast/id928326346 A Swift Kick in the Ass is a personal growth podcast built on one idea: the beliefs you inherited are keeping you stuck — and it's time to disrupt them.
