Why the 4% Rule Is Killing Your Retirement (And What to Do Instead)

from Optimize Your Retirement · host Daniel Razvi & Imran Razvi

Your advisor asks about your "risk tolerance"—but that's the wrong question entirely. Tax attorney Daniel Razvi and his father Raz dismantle three sacred cows of retirement planning: the 4% withdrawal rule, the Rule of 100 for asset allocation, and risk tolerance questionnaires. Discover why the market crashes every five years on average, how volatility buffers allow 6-7% withdrawals instead of 4%, and why target date funds are "the lazy man's way to lose money." Most importantly, learn the only question that matters: "How much income do you need?" Schedule a free consultation at RiskFeesTaxes.com.
