I Broke All the Retirement Rules (Without Realizing It)

Design the Retirement You Actually Want: https://stan.store/Michelle50/p/design-the-retirement-you-actually-want I sat down to read another article about retirement rules — the 4% withdrawal rate, the 60/40 portfolio, quitting cold turkey at 65 — and realized I'd broken every single one. Not by accident. Because most of these rules were written for a life a lot of us never actually lived. In this video, I'm breaking down three outdated retirement rules, why they don't hold up anymore (especially if you're on your own), and what I do instead — from how I think about withdrawals, to building small income streams I actually enjoy, to why a custom portfolio beats a rigid formula every time.
