You’ve probably said it before. ‘I ran the numbers, and I should be fine.’ But what if the math you're relying on isn’t telling the whole story? Today, we’re unpacking some of the most common examples of fuzzy retirement math- rules of thumb and assumptions that sound good on paper but can derail your plan if you take them at face value.
Lee breaks down why average returns don’t tell the full story, why the 4% withdrawal rule isn’t a guarantee, and why relying only on dividends or assuming you’ll spend less in retirement can backfire. He also explains how taxes and Social Security decisions are often misunderstood, and why flexibility- not formulas- is the real key to retirement success.
Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:
📉 Average returns don’t guarantee consistent growth 💸 The 4% rule isn’t always reliable for withdrawals 📊 Dividends and interest alone can create unstable income 🛍️ Retirees often spend more, not less 💰 Many people stay in the same tax bracket in retirement ⏳ Waiting until 70 for Social Security isn’t always best

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
