The \u201cColors of Money\u201d is a way of assigning colors to money to help visualize the risk your assets are exposed to, as well as a method of seeing the balance of risk to safety within your portfolio. Money comes in three colors: Green Money, Yellow Money, and Red Money. Green Money is the safe stuff with no volatility, but it is also the kind of money that offers the least growth. When we talk about having peace about your financial decisions a big part of that is knowing that you will always have enough money to meet your needs. That\u2019s where Green Money comes in.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, when you think about red, what comes to mind? Volatility, right? Risk. You could make a 20% increase one month, and by next year you could lose half your savings. People who had all of their assets in Red Money in 2008 learned that rule the hard way. Some of them lost as much as 50% of their savings. Brokers will tell you \u201cthe market will always com back,\u201d and that is generally true. But when you are retired, you don\u2019t have time to wait for the market to come back, and you don\u2019t have a paycheck to keep paying the bills in the meantime.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean that your portfolio cannot have any growth. That is why there is a third kind of money, called Yellow Money. Yellow Money is Red Money with some of the volatility taken out of it. It is money that has been put into managed assets, holdings that are being carefully monitored and handled by a professional and include safety measures, which means that the risk goes down a bit. You don\u2019t want your grocery and mortgage money to be Yellow Money, but if you have assets that you don\u2019t need for 10 years, it would be something to consider.<\/p>\n

What does all this mean? As you approach retirement and in retirement, you want the portion of your assets that you need to maintain your standard of living to be positioned in Green Money. Then the rest of it should be positioned in Yellow Money to add inflation protection and cr\u00e8me to your standard of living.<\/p>\n
