Listen "Living Off Your Retirement Savings"
Episode Synopsis
You may have heard of the 4% Rule, which suggests 4% as the maximum sustainable rate of withdrawal from your retirement accounts, but over recent years the goal posts have been shifting, leading some to question the validity of this classic rule of thumb. Donna offers insights from experts on what rate of withdrawal makes sense based on current and projected cost of living, and the importance of building flexibility into your retirement plan. Also on MoneyTalk, how a surprising new type of scam is turning the model for retail fraud on its head, and when to consider taking social security early.
