“Status Quo” is a term that is often thrown around for a variety of things. At its core definition, it means “the existing condition or state of affairs.” We commonly use it as a phrase to insinuate that we are just going to keep things the same or choose not to change the methodology in which we have always done something. And while this is fine in terms of the route you take to work or church, or the daily routine you have when you wake up in the morning, you better think twice about remaining status quo when it comes to your investment philosophy when you leave the workforce and enter retirement.
