Your Retirement Elevated Podcast with Scott Dougan

The 4% rule gets talked about like gospel in retirement planning. But let’s be honest, it’s always been more of a rough guess than a golden rule. Now, its original creator is revising it to 4.7%. So, does that mean your retirement paycheck just got a raise, or is this just another headline that oversimplifies a complex decision?

In this episode, Scott takes a closer look at what the 4.7% update really means. He walks through the origins of the rule, the risks of interpreting it as a green light to spend more, and why your real withdrawal rate should always reflect your goals, health, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Headlines and quick financial tips are tempting to follow, but without a personalized plan, they can steer you in the wrong direction.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:
