Hi Jan,

Episode 208 of our Retire With Style podcast is out now!
This week on Retire With Style, Alex and I are tackling some of the biggest questions we hear about retirement spending. From the 4 percent rule to sequence of returns risk to the role of equity glide paths, we walk through the concepts that shape how you turn your savings into sustainable income.

We also dig into why spending flexibility matters, how to think about essential versus discretionary expenses, and why reliable income sources remain a foundation for any retirement strategy. Along the way, we clear up a few common misconceptions, including the idea that dividends alone can carry a retirement plan.

If you have ever wondered whether the 4 percent rule still holds up, how much sequence risk should really worry you, or what to do with your allocation in the early years of retirement, this episode offers a practical and research grounded look at those decisions.

I hope you enjoy the conversation and, as always, keep the great questions coming. Listen now to learn more!
