Retirement Survival “Rule of 3” By Doug Moore

16,000 people have died in America since 2000 due to exposure to the elements. With outdoor & accident survival, “most are unprepared because they’ve focused on the wrong things: They’ve focused on far-off, unlikely events and ignored the obvious threats that kill Americans every day. They’ve ignored the survival “Rule of 3”: In a physical emergency, you will die from a lack of air in 3 minutes… exposure to the elements in 3 hours… dehydration in 3 days… and starvation in 3 weeks. So, while it’s important to have food and water in an emergency…When it comes to survival, you should always focus first on preparing for the things that will kill you the fastest.” *
Likewise, too much exposure to market risk kills 1000’s of retirements each year — people who thought they had “killer retirements” prior to the last 3 crashes got hammered and their portfolios & retirement dreams killed because they had: 1/ too much risk, 2/ no exit plan, and, 3/ no income plan.
