Shownotes Transcript

In a recent episode of his own podcast, financial guru Dave Ramsey touted an 8% withdrawal rate for assets as his advice to those at or near retirement – and decried those who might disagree as “goober supernerds.”

To assess the validity of Ramsey’s claims, our host Michael Finke, PhD, CFP® assembled The College’s resident retirement supernerds – adjunct professor of wealth management David Blanchett, PhD, MSFS, CFA, CLU®, ChFC®, CFP® and professor of practice Wade Pfau, PhD, CFA, RICP® – to discuss their printed response to Ramsey), optimal withdrawal rates, sequence of returns risk, and best-practice retirement planning.
