The 4% Withdrawal Rule Has Changed: How To Spend MORE in Retirement
Get the most out of your retirement with a personalized withdrawal strategy!
Start here:
www.sparkwealthadvisors.com/contact
William Bengen, the "father" of the 4% withdrawal rule, revised his study recently and found that, with some changes to your portfolio, a higher safe withdrawal rate is sustainable. However, the rule is still flawed in many ways.
In this video, Jake explains the basics as well as some lesser-known facts about this common withdrawal strategy. At the end, he explains the pitfalls of the 4% rule and the withdrawal strategy we typically implement with our clients at Spark Wealth Advisors.

    The break even age is way higher than age 80. You need to take the time value of money and investment earnings into consideration. The break even is closer to 87 or 88.

    • @SparkWealthAdvisors
      @SparkWealthAdvisors 7 дней назад

      The breakeven calculation assumes a 2% cost of living adjustment each year for the earlier age. Of course, it would change if you used a different percentage. Investment returns are not guaranteed so it wouldn't be appropriate to factor that in.

    • @keithmachado-pp6fv
      @keithmachado-pp6fv 7 дней назад

      Of course you need to include investment returns. In fact if anything I would ignore the COLA which is less certain in my opinion and you get the COLA adjustment whether you claim or defer anyway so it doesn’t have a large impact. As far as investment returns they are not going to be zero if conservatively invested in CDs, T Bills etc. I used 4.5% which is what you can get on a ten or twenty year bond today but you can use a lower number if more comfortable.

    Not a very good analysis. You quoted the life expectancy table at birth. Also , with the payout amounts at different ages for Social Security, you failed to account for the effect of COLAS on the amounts. Another thing is that claiming early and letting your retirement accounts grow may expose your spouse to the widows tax trap. Your example of someone who’s benefit would be $700 at 62 but $850 at 67, well those figures aren’t even close to being right. If their benefit at 62 would be $700, then age 67 it would be $1,000 and that’s not counting 5 years worth of COLAS being added on. The only reason to collect early is if your health is bad and prospects of longevity are not in your family.

    • @SparkWealthAdvisors
      @SparkWealthAdvisors 8 дней назад

      Life expectancy at 62 would be a better figure, I agree there. The breakeven charts did include a 2% COLA that I didn't mention. As for the widows tax trap, that would not be a "good reason" (title of the video) to claim early, but a valid concern nonetheless. The $700/$850 example was purely made up, but the point was that if the delayed benefit amount is nominal, it may not be worth it depending on how much you need the income.

    You made a huge mistake form the beginning. You said the average life expectancy I the US is 77.5 that's the most incorrect number to cite because it includes people who die as infants, in childhood and middle age this brings the average way down. You should only concern yourself with life expectancy at at age 62 which is 20 years (M) and 22.9 (F) at 62 your Life expecentacy is 82-85 (NOT 77.5). that's a completely different narrative you shouldn't even mention the 77.5 expectancy because that includes all the people who didn't make it to 62 in the first place.

    Cumulative amounts mean absolutely nothing. You receive your check every month not all at one time. So that's a useless comparison.

I can't believe that financial advisors don't see the folly in that comparison.

    • @SparkWealthAdvisors

      I wouldn’t say it means “absolutely nothing”. When you pay into something for 40 years, some people naturally want to get the most out of it that they can. As I said in the video, it’s certainly not something to put a whole lot of weight on when making the decision.

      That's increasing the $7500 by 1% each year from each starting age with no cap, which probably has minimal effect in the long run (only $75 more in year 2). 1% of salary ($750) would have been more appropriate to show, now that you mention it. Good question and thanks for asking.

I'm working toward age 67 (wife will be 62) with $2+ million in retirement and $2 million in home equity. That will work, though it will leave me with less time to enjoy it. Still, adding to my investments until I have Medicare and Full Retirement Age makes a lot of sense. Their numbers are remarkably close to ours, with the exception of them owning their house outright and us having a mortgage on a higher-value home. Anyway, those additional 8 years of working have a huge impact. I can easily have double what I have invested today, and I've been contributing at about 10% of earnings since 1993. So those 8 years match what took me 31 years to do so far.

      Andrew, thank you for your comment. A few observations: Is there any reason behind the $2million number? (i.e. is that actually what you need to support desired spending or is it just a nice round number you are aiming for?) Also, do you own multiple properties? $1m increase in home equity over 7 years could be a bit aggressive if it's just for one home. Of course it also depends on how much that $1m is as a % of it's current value.

    When you do the Roth conversion at that point, if you stay under that $94,000, I'm assuming you don't need to come up with any cash to pay taxes on the conversion because its zero tax rate. Is that correct?

    • @SparkWealthAdvisors
      @SparkWealthAdvisors Месяц назад

      Remember the $94,050 is the 0% long-term capital gains tax bracket. Meaning, with no other income (social security, interest, etc.) you can realize $94,050 in long-term capital gains and pay no taxes (really more if you include standard deduction.) Converting to Roth is ordinary income which is taxed separately, so you could still owe taxes if your AGI is within the $94,050, since that bracket applies only to capital gains. But, to answer your question, if your projected tax liability on a Roth conversion is 0, then you are correct in assuming you would not need to pay out of pocket for taxes. Sorry if I didn't explain this well in the video - let me know if that makes sense!

    Another potential downside to taxable brokerage accounts (that no one talks about) is the fact that they can be raided in the event that the owner is sued or if the owner needs to file for bankruptcy. It could probably also make the owner ineligible for public benefits such as SSI. 401k's and IRA's offer more protections against lawsuits and bankruptcy than taxable brokerage accounts I believe.
