I’m in my late 50s with a decent nest egg — how can I withdraw money in retirement without going broke?

Running out of money in retirement is a common fear for many individuals. According to research from Allianz Life Insurance, 63% of Americans are more concerned about running out of money than they are about dying. This fear is particularly prevalent among those in their late 50s and early 60s, who are approaching retirement.

When you retire, you typically rely on savings and Social Security, which may only replace around 40% of your pre-retirement income. If your savings run out, you could be left in a precarious financial situation. However, there are strategies you can implement to ensure your money lasts throughout your retirement years.

One crucial aspect is determining a safe withdrawal rate. This involves limiting the amount you withdraw each year to preserve your principal balance and continue earning returns. One conservative approach is to live off the interest generated from your savings. For example, if you have $1 million earning 3% interest, you could live on the $30,000 annual yield without depleting your nest egg.

Another widely recognized strategy is the 4% rule, where you withdraw 4% of your initial retirement balance in the first year and adjust subsequent withdrawals for inflation. However, experts now suggest capping withdrawals at 3.7% to account for lower projected returns and longer lifespans.

The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College recommends using Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) rules as a guide for retirement withdrawals. These rules dictate minimum distributions starting at age 72, considering factors like investment performance and lifespan.

Regardless of the method you choose, it’s essential to assess your risk tolerance and have a buffer of liquid cash to weather market downturns without being forced to sell investments at a loss. Consulting with a financial advisor can help tailor a personalized withdrawal strategy to maximize the longevity of your retirement savings.

By following these strategies and seeking professional guidance, you can better ensure that your money lasts as long as you need it to in retirement. Remember, this information is for educational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. It is always recommended to consult with a professional advisor for personalized recommendations.
