## Resource

The four percent rule, once a retirement lifeline, is fading fast. New data from 2026 suggests withdrawing just 3.9%—or even less—may be safer, as lower returns and longer lifespans threaten the old strategy. Don’t gamble on a one-size-fits-all number. Your retirement plan needs your unique financial blueprint. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
