What’s Wrong With the 4% Rule
Many people believe they can make their retirement savings last by only withdrawing 4% of the value each year. However, out process proves to yield much higher success rates.
*Given the current market environment with bond yields at approximately 2.0% and the CAPE ratio of 22, a 4% initial withdrawl rate has less than a 50% probability of success over a 30-year period with a 40% equity portfolio. This success rate is much lower than past studies which have typically noted a probability of success above 80%, generally closer to 90%.
