The Retirement Income Show with Michael Eastham

How much can you spend in retirement, and how might that change when markets decline or living costs rise?

In this episode of Retirement Income Source, Michael Eastham discusses retirement withdrawal strategies, including the 4% rule and approaches that adjust withdrawals as portfolio values change. He explores how market downturns can affect withdrawals and why understanding your income needs is central to planning.

The conversation also considers putting income needs first and the role of growth in a retirement portfolio.

Retirement doesn’t always bring clear skies. Inflation, healthcare costs, market downturns and unexpected family needs can put pressure on even a carefully considered plan.

In this episode of Retirement Income Source, Michael Eastham discusses the financial storms retirees may face and ways to prepare. Topics include a sustainable income strategy, cash reserves, diversification, tax planning and preparing for more than one challenge at a time.

You can’t predict every storm, but you can take steps to prepare for what comes next.

Interest rates are on a lot of people’s minds these days. If you’re retired or near retirement, you need to pay attention to interest rates. That’s what this episode is all about.
