Ep 67: I Have $5 Million… So How Much Can I Actually Spend?

About this episode

The episode discusses the complexities of retirement spending and the factors that affect it.

Most people think retirement is just about hitting a certain portfolio number. But what often gets overlooked is what that number actually translates to in real-life spending power over time. In this episode, we break down the hidden friction between investment returns, taxes, inflation, and lifestyle — and why "living off the return" is far more complicated than it sounds.
