Sequence Risk and Flexible Withdrawals
💡 Tip of the Week
The 4% rule draws from studies of average 30-year periods, yet it leaves little margin when the first decade brings below-average returns. A market drop right after retirement means your fixed withdrawal takes a larger share of a smaller balance, accelerating depletion. RetirePro runs your specific start date and spending against full historical sequences so you can set an initial rate that still lasts your full retirement.
