The 4% rule is a widely accepted principle in retirement planning. It stipulates that retirees can safely withdraw a fixed percentage of their investment portfolio each year to fund their lifestyle.

However, it's important to note that the 4% rule is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Factors such as individual risk tolerance, life expectancy, and market conditions can all impact the appropriate withdrawal rate.

Specifically, the rule suggests withdrawing 4% of the portfolio's initial value in the first year of retirement. This amount is then adjusted annually for inflation to ensure that the purchasing power of the withdrawals remains constant over time.

In addition to the 4% rule, retirees may also consider diversifying their portfolios to include a mix of assets that can provide both growth and income potential.
