The Importance of Efficiency in Retirement Planning
Efficiency in retirement planning, particularly in terms of how money is saved and invested, is emphasized as a key factor in generating higher retirement income. The traditional 4% rule is presented as restrictive and reliant on unpredictable market performance. The concept of marrying actuarial science and life insurance products is introduced as a way to increase retirement income options. By combining annuities and life insurance, individuals can achieve higher income streams and protect against longevity and market variability risks. The idea is to create a custom pension, or pension 2.0, that provides guaranteed income and legacy protection. Planning for retirement should focus on maximizing efficacy, or the ability to efficiently turn savings into income, rather than solely focusing on accumulating large balances.
