The Retirement Withdrawal Strategy Most People Miss

Watch Episode 3: The Withdrawal Strategy Most People Miss

In this episode, I walk through how a retirement withdrawal strategy works and why it’s often overlooked.

Most retirement portfolios include a mix of:

  • Tax-deferred accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s

  • Taxable brokerage accounts

  • Tax-free accounts like Roth IRAs

Each of these is treated differently from a tax standpoint.

Which means withdrawals aren’t just about generating income—they’re about coordinating where that income comes from.

Over time, that coordination can have a meaningful impact on how efficient your plan is.

If you want a deeper breakdown, I’ve outlined this more fully here:

This is one piece of a much bigger picture.

If you’re within 5–10 years of retirement, I put together the Retirement Transition Field Guide to walk through how income, taxes, and investments fit together.
