-------------------------------------------- WANT TO ASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE VIDEO?
The two best ways to do that:
1) Submit the question here 👉 https://forms.gle/JqhUZYX6646sWToq9 or
2) You may type the question in the comments (note that comments may be visible to the public)

Important: Never share sensitive/private information (including, but not limited to: account numbers, SSN, date of birth, address, phone number, usernames or passwords, etc.) in those questions. Not all questions will be answered. Your question and details may be shown and discussed publicly.
--------------------------------------------

We’ll address that question, and more importantly, fiddle around with some numbers to illustrate some essential concepts for retirement income planning.

We’ll look at how earnings on your retirement savings can help stretch your assets. Plus, we’ll see how inflation, market crashes, and adjustments to your spending might look in a simplified model.

The amount you withdraw from savings can supplement income from Social Security and other sources. But it’s important for that money to last for the rest of your life. The amount you spend affects how long your money will last, but investment returns and inflation are also important.
