As a financial strategist and retirement planning specialist for more than 46 years, Doug Andrew has fielded a lot of questions. Each week, he answers many of these questions on his 3 Dimensional Wealth YouTube channel. The question he zeroes in on for this episode is, what is the 4% rule as it relates to retirees?
In today’s episode, he explains what the 4% rule is, why it came about and why he thinks it’s pretty pathetic that it is the financial services industry standard for people have money in traditional IRAs and 401(k)s.
Doug has two very specific problems with this rule. One is that the money is essentially trapped in the account and the second is that it is at risk because it is in the market rather than tied to the market. He explains the difference between planning for retirement and the kind of planning needed once you’re at retirement.
If you’re serious about enjoying liquid assets safely earning a predictable rate of return, this is a message you need to hear.
