Show Notes

In this episode, Marty Becker breaks down the 4 percent rule—a common rule of thumb for retirement withdrawals—and explains why it might not be the best option for today’s retirees. Marty explores how this rule was created, why some experts are suggesting higher withdrawal rates, and the risks involved.

More importantly, he introduces a powerful alternative: income annuities. Learn how annuities can provide more guaranteed income in retirement and offer greater financial stability, even in uncertain markets. Marty walks you through real-life examples, showing how you could get nearly 90% more spendable income using annuities, all while protecting the rest of your savings.
