EASY ADVICE ON RETIREMENT INCOME

Hi Folks,

I am not a financial advisor – I have a financial advisor (and a darn good one) but, for some reason, most of my friends (retired and those still working) do not use financial advisors. Some of them have stock brokers, some manage their own 401k accounts, some manage their savings using mutual fund accounts and, I’m not sure, but I think one of them uses the old “under the mattress” system .

Lots of folks don’t like to discuss the way they manage their retirement money. I guess they think they would have to explain and/or defend their method of money management. But over the years I have collected a few pieces of good advice from these people (except from the guy with the lumpy mattress) about how they calculated their retirement income and expenses and whether they had enough to retire on. I am not going to try to explain these tidbits of advice, heck, the experts write books explaining these things. I’ll just pass them along to you.

The 4% Retirement Withdrawal Rule

Hi Folks,

When I was in my early 60s I began considering retirement. I invested in some very good retirement planning books and began searching the Internet for all the information about retirement I could find.

One piece of advice I consistently ran across was this: never withdraw more than 4% of your retirement savings in any one year. I calculated what 4% of my retirement savings would be and learned that I simply did not have enough to retire on.
