The 4% rule is a widely used guideline for managing withdrawals in retirement. It suggests that retirees withdraw 4% of their total retirement savings annually, allowing their investments to grow while ensuring their funds last 30 years or more. However, at State Pension Advisors, we customize withdrawal strategies based on your pension, expenses, and market conditions to provide a more personalized and secure plan.
