Episode 5: What is a safe rate of withdrawal in retirement?

 

What is a safe withdrawal rate in retirement?

The formula we use at our firm, Imagine Financial Security, is; Financial Goals + Risk Tolerance – Income Sources = Rate of Withdrawal.

If you follow this logic, you will find a goals based rate of withdrawal that is customized to your financial plan, not some benchmark created by someone who knows nothing about you.  

Hope you enjoy this episode!
