Are you nearing retirement and grappling with how much you can safely withdraw from your savings each year? In this enlightening episode, we tackle the pivotal question: What is the ideal retirement withdrawal rate at age 55?
First, we delve into the traditional 4% rule—a time-tested guideline that suggests withdrawing 4% of your retirement savings annually to help ensure your funds last throughout your lifetime. But is sticking to 4% the only way to secure your financial future?
Join us as we explore an alternative approach: utilizing a Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) through a fixed index annuity. Discover how this strategy allows you to withdraw up to 6% annually, providing a higher income stream without the fear of outliving your savings. We'll discuss how GLWBs offer contractually guaranteed payments for life, giving you peace of mind even if the market takes a downturn or your account balance dips.
Learn how this method reduces the stress of managing withdrawals, eliminates guesswork, and even offers legacy planning benefits by allowing remaining funds to be passed on to your beneficiaries.
Whether you're planning for retirement or advising someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you make informed decisions about maximizing income and safeguarding your financial future. Tune in and take a confident step toward a worry-free retirement!
