A $2 million retirement portfolio does not automatically equal a fixed monthly paycheck. Your income depends on withdrawal strategy, taxes, market conditions, and how flexible your spending plan is. A 4% withdrawal rate may provide stability, while pushing toward 6% can increase lifestyle income but also significantly increases sequence-of-returns risk during market downturns. The key is not blindly following a percentage. It’s building a flexible system with spending guardrails, cash reserves, and tax-efficient withdrawals that can adapt as markets change. Retirement success is not about maximizing withdrawals. It’s about making your money last while still enjoying your life.
