Are You Saving Too Much? | with Nick Maggiulli - E60

Are You Saving Too Much? | with Nick Maggiulli - E60

Author: Jesse Cramer August 2, 2023 Duration: 52:07

Today, I'm going to share the five false proxies leading people astray in their financial goals. In fact, what if I told you a recent study revealed your $1 million investment principal was more likely to quadruple than remain flat even after decades of enjoying a 4% withdrawal rate? Would you rethink your saving strategy? Would you consider passing along some of your inheritance sooner in life? With that said, how do we come close to dying with zero? Our guest today has plenty of thoughts on bolstering the longevity of our finances, and surprisingly, his number one tip has nothing to do with your money. We also discuss lump sum investments vs dollar cost averaging and if you should be worrying about pennies when you might be missing out on dollars. I hope you enjoy my conversation with the creator of Of Dollars and Data, Nick Maggiulli.
