PPR 257: WYS - Father Admits he Was Wrong

from Kraig Strom, The Income Engineer · host Kraig Strom

The father of the 4% Rule emerges from his golf course retirement home to say he was wrong. For years, Wall Street has told us that the 4% rule for retirement income planning is gospel. Of course, we know that the 4% rule has not worked out too well in recent years. Now we hear from the creator and he admits his error but it's not what you think. Thanks to the death of private pensions, the devaluation of Social Security benefits and other undeniable retirement factors such as inflation and increased taxes, America is now in a retirement income crisis.
