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.

More importantly, he introduces a powerful alternative: income annuities.

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.
