FAQ
What is the 4% rule?
The 4% rule suggests withdrawing 4% of your retirement savings annually (adjusted for inflation) to make your money last 30 years. It's a guideline, not a guarantee.
How much should I save for retirement?
Financial experts recommend saving 10-15% of your income. Many suggest having 10x your final salary saved by retirement age.
What's a realistic return rate?
Historical stock market returns average 10% annually, but conservative planning uses 6-8% to account for bonds and market volatility.
When should I start saving?
Now! The earlier you start, the more time compound interest has to work. Even small amounts grow significantly over decades.
