“Safe” sounds simple, but in retirement planning, it can mean very different things to different people. Jake explains why feeling comfortable with your portfolio isn’t the same as having the right amount of risk for your actual financial situation. The goal isn’t to avoid risk altogether, it’s to make sure the risk you’re taking actually fits the life your money needs to support.

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

💬 Client Perceptions: What people usually mean by “safe money”

⚖️ Risk Capacity: How much risk your plan can actually support

😴 Risk Tolerance: How much volatility you can emotionally handle

📈 Market Influence: Why strong markets can distort perception

🔍 Portfolio Reality: Why people often underestimate their risk

💵 Income Protection: Keeping retirement spending on track
