At the end of the rainbow, you need to have a pot of gold. We’re talking about that 800-pound gorilla, retirement income. How do you build it, how do you get it when you need it, and how do you make it last?

In this episode, it’s just Bryan and Phillip talking together about these retirement income questions and more. There really is no one way to build up income for retirement, but there are some concepts to understand and strategies to decide on sooner rather than later, depending on your personality, job situation, risk-tolerance, and other factors.

If you are not earning, but incurring debt, that is obviously not a good situation to be in.” – Phillip Ramsey Click To Tweet “For people who played by conventional rules and built up a 401(k) over the long haul, that's where the tension lies when they wonder, ‘How does my money keep going up and how do I take from it now without running out?’” – Bryan Dewhurst Click To Tweet “No one retirement income strategy is one-size-fits-all. You need to work with someone who understands your situation and can recommend the right strategy for you.” – Phillip Ramsey Click To Tweet “Systematic withdrawal was a retirement income system that worked fine until we had 2 major stock market corrections in less than a decade.” – Bryan Dewhurst Click To Tweet “Required minimum distributions are like the government forcing your money off a cliff because they want the tax they’ve been waiting for.” – Phillip Ramsey Click To Tweet “So often people who have built a business and multiple streams of income like having control and they understand the risks they're taking.
