  •  September 14, 2007     Retirement income rules
    by John Caspar, Vice President and Investment Advisor with CIBC Wood Gundy

    "Okay, so you've worked, you've saved and you've built up that nest egg. Now you want to retire. How much money can you take from your portfolio to live on every year?
    That's a more complicated question than you might think, because it involves guessing about a lot of things. Here's a partial list of the variables involved: how long you'll live; inflation; interest rates; the performance of the capital markets; your tolerance for uncertainty. That's a lot of moving parts, and if you change your assumptions about any one of them, you'll get a different answer.

But an article in the August 2007 issue of the Journal of Financial Planning, published monthly by the Financial Planning Association®, offers a method for retirees to establish their own retirement withdrawal profile and then apply withdrawal rate rules that allow them to accomplish that plan. They’re in control instead of being held to a one-size-fits-all rate."

    by Dana Anspach, CFP®, Principal of Wealth Management Solutions, LLC.

    "You’re counting on your retirement plan to be your golden goose; the question is how many eggs can you take without killing the goose? A recent study shows most upcoming retirees have little idea how much money they can safely withdraw.

    The latest research provides an answer and set of clear cut rules to follow to give you the greatest probability for success. What happens if you follow the rules? You may be able to withdraw as much as..."
