What if the key to a better retirement isn’t saving more, but learning when it’s safe to spend more? Financial planner Aubrey Williams breaks down retirement guardrails, a flexible withdrawal strategy that helps early retirees adjust spending based on portfolio performance instead of relying on a fixed withdrawal rate. Using a $1 million portfolio, he explains how to balance market risk with the often-overlooked risk of underspending and missing out on life while you’re still young enough to enjoy it.
The goal is to spend confidently, adapt when markets change, and make the most of the money you’ve worked so hard to save.
