Video: An Introduction to the "4% Rule" for Retirement Portfolio Withdrawals
In this video, I break down the "4% rule", a widely used guideline for retirement spending. The rule suggests withdrawing 4% of your retirement savings annually to ensure your funds last through a 30-year retirement period. Every year after that, your withdrawal amount is adjusted for inflation. I explore its origins, assumptions, and important considerations, offering practical insights to help you make informed decisions about your financial future. This rule of thumb is far from perfect and may not be worth using as anything other than a starting point for your own planning needs. Watch now to learn how the 4% rule can impact your retirement strategy.
