There’s no magic number when it comes to retirement income. While rules like the 4% withdrawal rule can offer a starting point, your retirement deserves more than a one-size-fits-all formula.
In this episode, Catherine Magaña and Rachel Ivanovich explain why retirement income planning requires a personalized strategy built around your lifestyle, spending needs, Social Security, pensions, investments, taxes, healthcare costs, and long-term goals. They also explore how inflation, market volatility, and sequence-of-returns risk can affect how much income your portfolio can sustainably provide.
You’ll discover why:
-
Investment performance and retirement income aren’t the same thing
-
Your spending needs can change throughout retirement
-
A retirement plan shouldn’t be “one and done”
-
Regularly revisiting your income strategy can help you adapt as life changes
The goal isn’t to find the perfect withdrawal rule. It’s to create a flexible retirement income plan that helps you spend with confidence and live the retirement you’ve worked so hard to enjoy.
