Planning Made Simple for Investors

I’m guessing, but I bet at one time, you were probably taught that if you just got your nest egg big enough, you could safely withdraw 8% per year and have a safe and comfortable retirement for the rest of your life without the fear of running out of money.

You’ll hear first-hand what he has to say as we look at his newest book aptly titled, "How much can I spend in retirement?"
