On this episode, Mike McNamara, Ph.D., CFP® discusses the complexities of taking income from investment portfolios during retirement. He focuses on the need for a withdrawal plan to manage expenses, taxes, and market downturns, emphasizing the importance of matching the withdrawal rate to the portfolio’s expected earnings. The discussion features a call from a successful 89-year-old listener, Ed, who shares his positive experience living off his investments for 27 years, which leads to a conversation about creating cash reserves, or “buckets,” to protect against market volatility. Ultimately, the show aims to educate retirees on prudent financial strategies for drawing down their assets.
Michael J. McNamara, Ph.D., CFP®, is the Founder of McNamara Financial and a Certified Financial Planner. He’s semi-retired, and works with legacy clients and select others.
