Retiring the 4% Rule - Class at the Lewes Public Library 1/15/26

December 30, 2025

Retirees and those approaching retirement are invited to attend a free educational seminar, “Retiring the 4% Rule: Modern Retirement Withdrawal Strategies That Stretch Dollars Further,” taught by Robert Jeter, CFP® of Back Bay Financial Planning & Investments on Thursday, January 15, 2026, from 5:00–6:00 p.m. at the Lewes Public Library.

The seminar will explore why the long-standing 4% rule may no longer be sufficient—or appropriate—for today’s retirees and will introduce modern, research-based withdrawal strategies designed to improve sustainability, flexibility, and peace of mind in retirement.

Attendees will learn:

  • Why market volatility, inflation, and longer life expectancies have challenged traditional withdrawal rules
  • How dynamic withdrawal strategies can adapt to changing market conditions
  • Practical ways retirees can better align spending with portfolio performance
  • Common pitfalls that can quietly erode retirement income

The class is sponsored by the Delware Money School, a program of the Delaware Community Reinvestment Action Council, and is intended purely for educational purposes.

Walk-ins are welcome. Advance registration is encouraged and can be completed through the Lewes Public Library calendar, or by contacting:

Space may be limited.

This seminar is ideal for retirees, pre-retirees, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how to create a more resilient retirement income strategy in today’s market environment.
