Ep #13: Safe Withdrawal Rates and Traditional Retirement Projections
Most traditional retirement plans in the past were created by making a projection that has taken into account assumptions around inflation, rates of return, and longevity and putting it all together to see if there is money left over to last you the remainder of your life. Although this is a good starting point, it doesn’t take into account any unforeseen circumstances. In this episode, I will be sharing some other methods retirement planners are using these days to create a safer outcome for your retirement.
Listen in to learn how the Monte Carlo method works, how to ensure you’re maximizing your retirement income, and why it’s important to take into account the risk of longevity. Every individual’s financial situation is different, so it is important to remember that not every rule out of the retirement planning handbook will work for you, but this will be a good start.
