Redefining the 4% Rule: A Tailored Approach to Financial Planning

Or listen on:

Episode Description

Are you tired of rigid financial rules that don't cater to your individual needs? Fed up with generic advice that doesn't consider your unique circumstances? You've come to the right place. We are huge proponents of a tailored approach to financial planning, and we're here to share our insights on the 4% rule - or should we say 4.5% or even 5%, depending on your age.

Navigating the world of finance can feel like a maze, but we're here to serve as your compass. We'll guide you through the importance of viewing the 4% rule as a guideline rather than a golden rule. Building a portfolio that meets your retirement needs is just as crucial as understanding financial rules. We take pride in providing guidance and helping you navigate the decision-making process. Plus, we'll delve into why getting professional advice tailored to your circumstances is crucial and how hasty advice can lead to potential problems.

We understand that everyone's financial journey is unique, and we tailor our services to suit your needs. We'll share insights on the different types of clients we assist and the strategies we use to help everyone from spreadsheet do-it-yourselfers to those who've been with a big wire house or a golf buddy. Plus, we'll share our thoughts on seeking financial advice from social forums and provide a contrarian perspective to help you make informed decisions. Curious? Tune in for an enlightening chat on personal finance. Let's ditch the suits and get real about money together.

Episode Transcript

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
