Welcome back to The Market Moment! In this episode, Matt, Isaac, and Eli dive deep into one of retirement's most important—and complex—questions: What's the best way to withdraw income from your portfolio?  There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but we break down the four most common withdrawal strategies, explaining how each works, who they may be best for, and the pros and cons you need to consider before choosing one:  📌 4% Withdrawal Rule – The classic starting point, but is it still relevant today?  📌 Flexible Spending Strategy – How adaptable budgeting could help (or hurt) your retirement peace of mind.  📌 Bucket Strategy – A visual and tactical approach that segments your money for short-, mid-, and long-term needs.  📌 Guardrail Strategy – For the spreadsheet-savvy planner who wants a dynamic, rules-based income plan.  Along the way, we discuss real-world challenges, from market volatility to managing fixed vs. discretionary spending, and why knowing your monthly expenses and reducing debt (like paying off your home) are crucial for retirement success.  ✅ Whether you're 10 years out or just about to retire, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you build a withdrawal strategy that fits your life.  👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insights from the guys on The Market Moment.   📢 Share this with your tax-savvy friends and family!  💬 Let us know your thoughts!
