Filing 2025, Beautiful on Paper....Costly at the Cliffs
- Do I really need $1.16 million to retire? Not necessarily. That figure assumes $84,000 in annual spending funded by Social Security plus a 4% portfolio withdrawal. Guaranteed income changes the math: a couple with a pension or annuity covering their core expenses can retire securely on far less, because their withdrawal rate drops and market downturns stop threatening their paycheck. The right question isn't "what's my number?" — it's "where will my income come from?"
