Stop thinking about retirement, start thinking about financial independence. In this episode, Brian and Deni tear apart outdated retirement advice that financial planners have been repeating for decades.
We debunk:
→ The 60/40 portfolio allocation (and why bonds don't work like they used to)
→ The dangerous "Rule of 100" for asset allocation
→ The 4% safe withdrawal rule, even its creator says it's outdated
→ The 80% spending rule that assumes you'll spend less in retirement
→ Why Social Security won't cover 40% of your expenses anymore
→ The myth that you should sell all your real estate before retiring
We also cover:
→ What Coast FI means and how it can change your career decisions
→ Warren Buffett's 90/10 portfolio allocation strategy
→ How sequence of returns risk affects early retirees
→ Why Bill Bengen now recommends a 5% withdrawal rate
→ Building passive income streams that last through retirement
Whether you're 30 or 60, this episode will reshape how you think about building wealth and reaching financial freedom.
