I’m Gen X — And I’m BREAKING These 5 Retirement Rules

Retirement advice loves to hand us rules: own a paid-off house, save $1 million, follow the 4% rule, be debt-free, and don’t count on Social Security. But are all of those really hard-and-fast rules? In this video, I’m breaking down five of the biggest retirement “rules” Gen X has been told to follow — and looking at the numbers, assumptions, and real-life situations behind them. We’ll talk about renting vs. owning in retirement, the million-dollar myth, the 4% rule, Social Security, debt, and a few more retirement rules that may deserve a second look. Because maybe the goal isn’t to follow somebody else’s retirement blueprint. Maybe the goal is to build one that actually works for your life. Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor or planner.
