ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You've saved well. But how much can you actually spend?
In this episode, Ray Godleski tackles one of the most common and most misunderstood questions in retirement planning. The answer is not simply a percentage or a dollar amount. It depends on your income sources, expenses, tax strategy, health, legacy goals, and how flexible you are willing to be when markets change.
You'll learn:
- Why the 4% rule is a helpful starting point but should never be treated like a commandment
- How inflation can silently double your retirement costs over 24 years
- Why sequence of return risk can devastate a plan that looks fine on paper
- How flexible spending guardrails give you a floor, a target, and a ceiling for smarter spending
- A 10-question framework to help determine how much you can safely spend
