In this week’s episode of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree Jr., Mike Johnson, and Chad Sturgill dive deep into the complexities of retirement planning, challenging conventional wisdom and offering fresh perspectives on financial security in your golden years.

Key Takeaways:

Net Worth vs. Cash Flow: While recent reports show U.S. household net worth at record highs, our experts caution that net worth alone doesn’t guarantee a comfortable retirement. The real key? Cash flow.

The Asset-Rich, Cash-Poor Dilemma: Tom shares a poignant story of a client who was “house rich but cash poor,” illustrating the importance of liquidity in retirement planning.

Rethinking the 4% Rule: Our team discusses the evolution of the famous 4% withdrawal rule, from Morningstar’s conservative 3.3% to JP Morgan’s bullish 5%. But here’s the kicker – they argue that no one-size-fits-all rule can replace personalized planning.

The New Retirement: Is traditional retirement becoming obsolete? We explore the trend of retirees returning to work, either by choice or necessity, and how this impacts financial planning.

Investment Strategies for Retirees: Learn about Dupree Financial Group’s unique approach to generating retirement income without relying on annuities.

Mutual Funds vs. Separately Managed Accounts: Discover why our experts prefer separately managed accounts, especially for taxable investments.
