Have you heard of the four percent rule
when it comes to figuring out how you will
live in retirement or that time that you
reach financial freedom in this video
I will be explaining what the four percent
rule is and at the end of the video I will
be sharing a workaround to the four
percent rule that makes it even better
Hi I am Camille Gaines founder of Financial
Woman Dot Com and Author of Earn Grow Give
I am a financial coach for women and I
want to share with you about the four
percent rule because it is super
important to have a good feel for
knowing how much money you will need when
you reach that financial freedom day
many people call it retirement you know
what is right for you what works for you
is based on how old you are and when
this will happen and what your lifestyle
is going to be like when it does happen
so the four percent rule simply means
that during financial freedom retirement
you withdraw four percent of the amount
that is in your retirement or savings
account now where did the four percent
rule come from well in 1994 a guy named
William Bingen did an extensive study he
was a financial advisor and he did this
enormous study with an emphasis on the
big bad bear market in the 1930s and
again in the 1970s to see if people
if their retirement would
last if they were through four percent a
year for X number of years and sure
enough it worked he found that the
conclusions of study that showed that
never in history had a four percent
annual withdraw depleted a retirement
account portfolio completely in a period
less than 33 years okay so the good news
is that studies were the research
included really bad bear markets you know
I did not just consider the good times
right it looked at the bad times too so
that is comforting
for investors I think what has happened
since we had those nasty bear markets in
the early 2000s and again mid late 2000s
well a lot of people are questioning the
validity of this four percent annual
withdrawal rate not only that people are
living longer and so if you retired at
age 65 and in the study went 33 years
into the future well you're you're late
90s but still with with extended lines
due to medical care and different living
styles you know you want to make sure
your money is going to outlive you right
instead of the other way around so a lot
of people have questioned the four
percent rule and a lot of studies and
sort of you know changes to it have been
have been done and so there are things
that you can do to the great news is to
change that four percent rule and
enhance that four percent rule because
who wants to spend their whole life
saving saving saving and working and
then in their golden years well if they
live really frugally they will their money
will n ot last long enough and that just
does not that did not work for us so we
looked at alternatives to that four
percent rule and we started doing this
in our 40s and so what we did and this
is the punch that I wanted to share with
you the kicker the little breakthrough
or workaround for the four percent rule
to make it better because it really
does not sound that great right so what
we did is we looked at alternative
income streams that we could create
starting in our 40s my husband was in
his 50s early 50s that would enhance
this four percent rule eventually when
we get there to where we are withdrawing
four percent and so let me give you an
example rental real estate so if you
look at rental real estate it's pretty
it's very very doable that you can get a
ten percent return on rental real estate
and that is just that is even with
financing that is not with with putting
all your capital into it so if you can
arm ten percent on an investment well
you know compare that to a four percent
withdrawal so we are sort of comparing
apples and
but I am trying to get you to think big
picture on what the return that you can
get from your money there are other
examples of income such as consulting
income that requires absolutely no
capital at all and you can earn very
very decent income from consulting
income which is ideal for people that
are midlife too late later in life or
after retirement because you know we
learn as we get older right so you see
the gray hair we learn we learn about
things and we are able to teach and share
with others what we have learned over the
years on a consulting basis net that is a
hundred percent roi because there is
literally no cost involved if you
have not seen my other video that I did
on that on how to start a small
consulting business in midlife late
midlife then please be sure to watch
that so what I want to share with you in
summary is the four percent rule means
that you save your life and then you
would draw four percent after you retire
of your investment account you would be
withdrawn four percent to live on and of
course you would have other investments
or other skimming income such as
hopefully social security and anything
else that you might happen to have you
might have some dividend income from
bonds or excuse me at some interesting
come from bonds or dividend income from
stock but as we have seen gosh they have
just been so low for so long now so can
you count on that so the four percent
rule is saying you're going to take four
percent out of your investment account
to live on during retirement or
financial freedom and what I am saying is
yeah but what about creating some income
streams that can enhance that so that
you can enjoy life a little bit more and
you know open some new doors as you
approach retirement so that you have laid
the foundation for some nice income
streams in addition to that four percent
withdrawal if you choose to do that when
if and when you need to that is what I
wanted to share this video if you found
it helpful I woud love it if you would like
