Welcome to "Retire Strong and Fearless," the podcast where we debunk common retirement myths. I'm your host, Rich Strehl with Protection USA.

Today, we'll challenge the notion of how much money you need to retire in style. Whether it's $50,000 or another number, we'll show you a simple way to estimate it using the Rule of 17.

The Rule of 17 assumes a 6% annual return on investments throughout retirement and suggests allocating 40-60% to a reliable annuity for low fees, guaranteed growth, and lifetime income.

But there's a twist. Most retirees follow a 60/40 portfolio, and it's been performing better than the Rule of 17's 6%.

When it comes to drawing from your retirement funds, you may not need to leave behind your initial principal. By exploring life insurance, you can have more flexibility.

Annuities play a crucial role, providing guaranteed income that can cover your expenses and keep pace with inflation.

Fidelity's 2022 report on retirement spending reveals that expenses like food, entertainment, and transportation show minimal fluctuations, while housing tends to decline, and healthcare increases but eventually stabilizes.

In summary, the Rule of 17 is a starting point, but tailor your retirement plan to your unique circumstances. Challenge the status quo to secure your retirement confidently.

Thank you for tuning in, and if you're enjoying the podcast, please leave us a review. It means the world to us and helps more listeners access this valuable information. Thanks a bunch!

We'll delve into the gripping story of Sarah and John, a couple who aspired to live a lavish life but almost paid dearly for it. You won't want to miss the shocking statistics that unveil the lurking dangers of lifestyle inflation. Discover the steps you can take to safeguard your financial future and break free from the 'keeping up with the Joneses' trap.

We'll also share insights from the 2023 Retirement Confidence Survey by the Employee Benefits Research Institute, revealing some fascinating statistics on lifestyle inflation:

• Learn what lifestyle inflation is and why people succumb to it.
• Find out which expenses are the biggest culprits.
• Discover how different generations are affected, with Gen X households being particularly prone.
• Understand the alarming trend of Americans spending 23% more each year than a decade ago.
• Uncover why this isn't necessarily a good thing, as it can lead to financial instability and debt.

But don't worry; we're not just here to highlight the problem. We're also here to provide solutions. In this episode, you'll learn practical steps to combat lifestyle inflation:

1. Invest regularly in the market regardless of the conditions: Embrace dollar-cost averaging to make consistent investments, reducing the impact of market volatility and emotional decision-making.
2. Master saving 10% and gradually increase to 20%: Build financial discipline and benefit from the power of compound growth by saving and investing more over time.
3. Inflate your lifestyle slower than your income inflates: Delaying lifestyle inflation can lead to financial independence, giving you the option to work less or retire sooner.

As we wrap up, remember that it's not about keeping up with others; it's about staying ahead. Break free from lifestyle inflation, take control of your financial destiny, and secure your future.
