Are the “gold standard” rules of retirement planning quietly becoming outdated? In this episode of Money, Taxes, and Freedom, Bryan and Shane Hopkins revisit the traditional 60/40 portfolio and 4% withdrawal rule to see if they still hold up in today’s market. They explore why changing conditions, like lower bond yields and market volatility, have challenged long-standing assumptions, and how adding complementary assets may help create more balance. The conversation also breaks down sequence of returns risk and why withdrawal timing matters for long-term income. It’s a practical look at evolving strategies for modern retirement planning.
