The 4% Rule is an old rule of thumb stating that an average portfolio can sustain a 4% rate of withdrawal through retirement, but while rules of thumb can provide a good baseline, they are often overly simplistic and fail to account for critical factors. Donna and Nathan offer some of the flaws in the 4% Rule, and why it’s important to consult an advisor when developing your withdrawal strategy.
