Not exact matches
Basically, he asked if I would be interested in participating in an ongoing conversation amongst
retirement bloggers
about their personal
retirement withdrawal strategy.
As we pointed out in our post last week, a
withdrawal rate
strategy should respond to market factors like equity valuations and bond yields as well as personal factors like age,
retirement horizon, and expectations
about pension and Social Security benefits.
To do that, you'll want to go through a rigorous
retirement - income planning process that starts with thinking seriously
about how you'll live in
retirement and then moves on to such tasks as making a
retirement budget; assessing different
strategies for claiming Social Security benefits; considering whether you want more guaranteed income than Social Security alone offers (which is where an annuity might play a role); and, settling on a
withdrawal rate that has a reasonable shot at making your savings last as long as you do.
There are
withdrawal strategies (such as drawing from bonds, drawing from dividends) that help soften the blow of such a downturn (a portfolio down
about 20 - 25 % for someone starting
retirement would have been more appropriate IMO).
Asked

withdrawal strategies from defined contribution (DC) plans and individual
retirement accounts (IRAs), many retirees aren't withdrawing much from them.
