That\u2019s because your portfolio composition, as well as future returns and inflation, may differ from our assumptions. These estimates also tend to be conservative because they assume that you\u2019re taking fixed real withdrawals, which is an inflexible strategy built for a worst-case scenario. In reality, you\u2019ll likely be able to adjust your spending as you encounter different market environments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstar.com\/business\/insights\/research\/the-state-of-retirement-income\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"mdc-link__mdc mdc-link--body__mdc mdc-link--no-underline__mdc mdc-story-interstitial-link__link__mdc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read Morningstar&#8217;s State of Retirement Income report.<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstar.com\/retirement\/how-use-morningstars-retirement-income-research\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"mdc-link__mdc mdc-link--body__mdc mdc-link--no-underline__mdc mdc-story-interstitial-link__link__mdc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More: How to Use Morningstar&#8217;s Retirement Income Research<\/a>     <\/p>\n<p class=\"story__disclosure__mdc\">The author or authors do not own shares in any securities mentioned in this article.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tFind out about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstar.com\/editorial-policy\" tabindex=\"0\" itemprop=\"publishingPrinciples\" class=\"mdc-link__mdc mdc-link--body__mdc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Morningstar\u2019s editorial policies<\/a>.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWill your money last?\u201d isn\u2019t the only question to consider before retiring.
