Your Survival Guy recently made a six-figure addition to my dividend-centric portfolio. Does that mean every single position pays a dividend? Not necessarily. It just means I favor dividend-payers over non-dividend-payers.

On the fixed income front, I have plenty for my age (52 years), with some gold as part of the mix. When youโ€™re in your 50s, you want to build in some stability with bonds. As you get closer to retirement, I like the idea of gradually increasing that percentage. You need to figure out the right mix for you as you build your retirement plan.

Action Line: In my conversations with you, we donโ€™t talk about asset allocation every single time we talk. Itโ€™s more of a gradual understanding we figure out together. When youโ€™re ready, letโ€™s talk.
