6:47 The 4 Percent Rule
- When you retire, if you’ve got a nest egg saved, this rule says you’re probably safe to withdraw 4 percent from it every year.
- In the 1990s, Bill Bengen wrote an article based on studies of distribution rates that worked.
- Even now, the 4 percent rule works if you have a diversified account.
- If you’re in large cap stocks then you didn’t make 4 percent, so diversification is important to have in retirement as you’re taking distributions.
- Looking over the past 40 years, 4 percent has worked. It even worked during the Great Depression.
- The report was run based on numbers as far back as 1926.
