Five Must-Knows About Retirement Spending
Released on Tuesday, March 21, 2023•RETIREMENT
One of the most difficult questions in retirement planning is how much retirees can safely spend without prematurely depleting their assets. Morningstar's director of personal finance and retirement planning, Christine Benz, will discuss key factors to bear in mind as you develop a safe and livable in-retirement spending rate. She will also share what current conditions—higher interest rates, declining stock prices, and high inflation—mean for in-retirement spending going forward. Finally, Ms. Benz will look at the interplay between your in-retirement spending and your portfolio's asset allocation and share some in-retirement model portfolios.

We just had another down week for the market, with the major indices probing new correction lows as recently as Thursday. That obviously keeps the intermediate-term evidence pointed down.

Last Friday, I sat down with Freddy Gray at The Spectator’s office in Westminster to record an episode of the Americano podcast. We talked about the collapse of the EV market, Britain’s disastrous energy policies, energy humanism, and the tectonic political changes in the US and Europe on climate policy. These shifts clearly impact companies like BP Plc (BP), explains Robert Bryce, editor of Robert Bryce on Substack.

A little over a month ago as Donald Trump was about to take office as President, the 10-Year Treasury Note yield hit 4.80%.
