We\u2019ve also travelled less than expected, but that\u2019s as much due to family obligations as anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn a more micro level, we trimmed our portfolio of streaming services to bring down our household expenses a bit. A bigger win was negotiating our cable-internet bill down.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>These are valid changes \u2013 look at your monthly spending and ensure you make changes to combat inflation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve only been retired for less than a year and like Rob, we monitor our spending. Just like our working years, retirement has a budget too. We don\u2019t have endless cashflow <strong>but we\u2019ve tried to construct our investment portfolio for cashflow: to deliver a meaningful and realistic mix of dividends, distributions, interest earned and gains \u2013 from selling assets from time to time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">Rob correctly cites the annual cost-of-living adjustments can be countered by many annual dividend increases paid by many of the blue-chip companies in Canada \u2013 if you own them. We are shareholders of many Canadian stocks and have been for 15+ years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">At the time of this post, a few dividend increases have helped us YTD combat inflation. Some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>BMO<\/li>\n<li>CNQ<\/li>\n<li>GWO<\/li>\n<li>PPL<\/li>\n<li>RY\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And I suspect more dividend raises in the range of 3-5% (where personal household inflation is sitting these days) will come via our hybrid portfolio later this year too from some steady-eddy utilities like EMA and FTS that have yet to raise their dividends in 2026. (I\u2019ll come back to this post later this year to see if I am right.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">One counter-argument to Rob\u2019s article I have though was his comment on the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"c-article-body__text text-pr-5\">\u201cHaving a good year in your investment portfolio is not the same as getting a raise in the amount of money deposited into your bank account because it doesn\u2019t help pay the bills.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To be honest, this is an excellent time to rebalance your portfolio if you\u2019re an indexed investor since the TSX-60 is up more than 10% YTD as is a global all-in-one ETF. <strong>So, by trimming your portfolio when the market is up 10% (or more) in any given year,<\/strong> you can feed your cash wedge for future spending.<\/p>\n<p>Feeding your cash wedge is putting that money into your bank account to pay the bills. When investments do well, i.e., they deliver more than the typical 7-8% equity total returns, <strong>you can and likely should confidently draw more from the RRSP\/RRIF, LIF or non-registered investments in your retirement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is why you invested for retirement in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27220 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myownadvisor.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/My-Own-Advisor-Cash-Wedge-pptx.png\" alt=\"My Own Advisor Cash Wedge pptx.\" width=\"989\" height=\"583\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27220 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myownadvisor.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/My-Own-Advisor-Cash-Wedge-pptx.png\" alt=\"My Own Advisor Cash Wedge pptx.\" width=\"989\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myownadvisor.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/My-Own-Advisor-Cash-Wedge-pptx.png 989w, https:\/\/www.myownadvisor.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/My-Own-Advisor-Cash-Wedge-pptx-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/www.myownadvisor.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/My-Own-Advisor-Cash-Wedge-pptx-600x354.png 600w, https:\/\/www.myownadvisor.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/My-Own-Advisor-Cash-Wedge-pptx-768x453.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 989px) 100vw, 989px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>I have no doubt inflation will continue.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I wrote a few years ago on X\/Twitter that inflation was not transitory whatsoever in my opinion.
