After building retirement portfolios for $1M and $500K — and reading many of your comments — I kept seeing the same mistakes come up again and again. Mistakes I’ve made myself. In this video, I walk through 5 common pitfalls that are quietly costing income investors real money: funds in the wrong account type, chasing yield, hidden concentration risk, no plan for when income drops, and duration risk hiding in the “safe” part of your portfolio. Each one is fixable — and most don’t even require selling anything.
