In this video, we break down the honest math and psychology behind $1 million, $1.5 million, and $2 million retirement portfolios—incorporating both traditional withdrawal rates and the cash-flow cushion provided by income-generating assets like covered call ETFs. We explore why sequence of returns risk can turn a standard 4% rule into a dangerous trap overnight, how variable monthly payouts require a different kind of budgeting, and why building an income floor that covers your expenses regardless of what the stock market is doing is the true key to financial peace of mind
