Most people spend far less in retirement than they likely could.
In fact, one study found married households age 65+ with more than $100k in savings withdrew just 2.1% per year on average.
And ironically, the traditional 4% rule may be one reason why.
In this episode, I'm breaking down new research on retirement withdrawal strategies—and what it reveals about how retirees may be able to spend more.
Here's what you'll learn:
→ 5 strategies that (safely) support higher retirement income
→ The overlooked key to sustainable and confident retirement spending
→ 3 factors that can push starting withdrawal rates to as high as 6.5%
The goal of retirement planning isn't just making your money last…it's making sure you actually use it.
Which raises an important question: "Could you afford to spend more in retirement than you think?"
