Are you preparing for retirement? What percentage of your retirement savings do you believe you can use each year in retirement without running out of money?

2013

So far the results of our poll are quite positive. Most participants think they can withdraw 3-4% of their savings each year in retirement. That’s about right according to conventional wisdom given long term investment returns, inflation and life expectancy.

Check the results for yourself (and wish good luck to those think they can use 8-10%).

Cast your vote before we move on to a new poll topic. Any ideas for a good poll question?
