Episode notes
Conservative Withdrawal Rates
- Morningstar's 3.7% withdrawal rate is a worst-case scenario, using conservative market expectations and portfolios.
- Research suggests most retirees could safely withdraw more, as many using the 4% rule die with significant wealth.
TIPS Ladder Strategy
- Create a laddered portfolio of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) for a higher withdrawal rate.
- This strategy could allow for withdrawals closer to 4.4%, though your portfolio might be depleted at the end.
Immediate Annuities
- Consider immediate annuities, especially if managing a TIPS portfolio is undesirable.
- These offer guaranteed income, sometimes for life, but require giving up control of a lump sum.
