I have enjoyed this podcast for the helpful information and the way these topics are presented.
Good info for a while, lately sounding like a sales pitch for the firm. Over-monitized; spend the show forwarding through ads.

That’s exactly what the 4% rule does say: in the worst conditions in the past a 4% withdrawal will not outlast your money.
