A prudent retired investor should have on hand adequate cash to carry through the down market

But that prudent investor will struggle to make up for the fact that his cash is losing 10% to 20% of its value each year.

Stocks fell in 6 weeks starting in mid november 2021 by some 1/3rd.
Hard to be prepared for that!

No, you are wrong.

The current inflation is 8%, far less than the overstated 20% you try to foist on the forum
