In this episode of The Finance Geeks, Warren Shute and Paul Cleworth roll out the measuring tape on retirement income planning—proving that the best strategies are tailored to fit, not pulled straight off the rack. They explore how personalised planning, shaped around an individual’s goals, mindset, and spending habits, leads to a more comfortable financial future.
From refining the classic 4% rule to cutting through the complexity of gilt yields, annuities, and long-term cash flow, they show how every element of a client’s retirement plan needs to be carefully stitched together. They also highlight why life’s richest returns come not just from wealth, but from well-made choices that support freedom and fulfilment.
Because when it comes to retirement, it’s not about following the standard pattern—it’s about creating a plan that fits perfectly.
