In this engaging episode of the Financial Foundations podcast, hosts Dustin Taylor and Alex Wolfe, certified financial planner, discuss the alleged shortcomings of the much-debated ‘4% withdrawal rule’ for retirees.

They explore issues like heightened longevity risk, evolving market return assumptions, varying bond interest rates, and the catastrophic effect of inflation rates on the rule’s validity.

They suggest more adaptive withdrawal strategies that keep in mind inflation, market returns, interest rates, and taxes, and advocate consulting with a financial planner for a tailored approach.

Listen in to learn how taxation or spending patterns in retirement could affect your withdrawal strategy, hear about the ‘guardrails approach’, the smiley face spending theory, and much more.
