Frequently Asked Questions
How does savings rate dictate retirement timeline? ▼
A higher savings rate has a dual benefit: it increases the cash invested every year while simultaneously lowering the annual spending you need your portfolio to support.
What return rate should I assume? ▼
Using a real (after-inflation) return assumption of 6% to 7% for a diversified global stock portfolio is standard in financial planning models.
