Unretired at 68
Retirees returning to work at 68 face challenges with retirement plans built for life without income.
Paycheck Replaces Portfolio Withdrawals
New income stops selling investments to cover living costs, letting portfolios compound without sales.
Retirement Account Contributions Restart
Taxable contributions to traditional IRAs can continue after age 68 with new income.
Tax Side Effects
New income increases taxable Social Security benefits and Medicare premiums near thresholds.
SCHG for Growth
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF tracks top tech companies with 11.01% in NVIDIA and 9.83% in Apple.
AVDE for International Stocks
Avantis International Equity ETF holds developed-market stocks outside the U.S. with low valuations and high profitability.
AVIG for Bond Income
Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF provides monthly bond income with a 1.96% decline over the past year.
Trade-Offs to Weigh
SCHG faces tech concentration risks, AVDE has currency swings, and AVIG falls when rates rise.
The main idea
Retirees returning to work at 68 can use Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF, Avantis International Equity ETF, and Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF to manage new income and retirement savings.
