Christine shares her extensive insights into retirement planning, emphasizing the flexibility and adaptability of the 4 percent guideline over the rigid 4 percent rule. She discusses the value of variable withdrawal strategies, the importance of personalizing one's retirement plan, and tackles the nuances of various saving vehicles like HSAs. Bill, Jackie, and Christine also chat about the sequence of returns risk and offer practical advice on asset allocation and preparing for healthcare costs in retirement.
