Your Money, Your Wealth

What Retiring With $6 Million Really Looks Like - 549

30 Sep 2025

Description

Today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 549 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA, a comment on one of our YouTube videos sparks a dialogue between Joe and Big Al on the 4% rule vs. the "guardrails" withdrawal strategy. Joe at the Beach is managing his ~$6M portfolio on his own, but wants the fellas' take on his upper limit for yearly spending, so he can keep drinking his old-fashioneds. Can Joe Ko in Virginia afford to bridge the gap between retiring at 67 and taking Social Security at 70? Plus, "Harold and Maude" have nearly $7M saved. Should they accelerate Roth conversions into high-tax brackets before moving from low-tax Colorado to high-tax California? And how much more than their current annual spend can they afford for family vacations and travel?
