The biggest mistake people make with their retirement portfolio



The obvious answer would be spending too much, but that's not it. Many investors make radical changes to their portfolio because of market volatility. Colleen Jaconetti from Vanguard's Investment Strategy Group says to stick with your investment plan and spend from capital appreciation if necessary. *All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. For more information about Vanguard funds, visit vanguard.com or call 877-662-7447 to obtain a prospectus. Investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information about a fund are contained in the prospectus; read and consider it carefully before investing.* When taking withdrawals from an IRA before age 59½, you may have to pay ordinary income tax plus a 10% federal penalty tax.

  1. I'm new to investing trying to invest for retirement currently 25 what should I be investing in now to have reach $500,000-$1,000,000 by the time I retire at 60-65 and how much do I need to be investing in each mutual fund each year etc
  2. This is a very good video for anyone thinking about investing to watch.
  3. This link-bait video title might make this video the most popular one of its series. I really appreciate Vanguard's youtube presence. I am a Diehard Vanguard fan! The advice in this video is spot on and people should not make their entire investment strategy to live solely off dividends and bond coupons alone
