    Retirement Income Strategy: How Much Do You Need?

    Educational Tool: Access the Retirement Plan Checklist to benchmark your current 401(k) and Social Security strategy against 2026 inflation. Topical Deep-Dive: Visit the Modern Wealth Education Center for peer-reviewed instructional content on withdrawal strategies and tax-efficient portfolio design. Fiduciary Consultation: To move from education to a personalized Financial Independence plan, you can Schedule a Meeting with our CFP® and CPA team. A sustainable retirement income strategy for 2026 involves calculating the "post-retirement cash flow" deficit—the difference between total desired spending and guaranteed income sources like Social Security or pensions . To bridge this gap, retirees should consider utilizing a "three-bucket" framework that organizes assets into safe (1–2 years), moderate (3–7 years), and growth (10+ years) categories to ensure immediate liquidity while protecting against sequence of return risk. This analysis, featuring Dean Barber and Neal Falkenberry, CFA, details the shift from the near-zero interest rate environment of the previous decade to the 2026 landscape where taxable bonds yield 4–5% and tax-free municipal bonds offer approximately 3.5%. We explore the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, specifically the senior deduction that allows married couples over 65 with a gross income of $140,000 to qualify for a 0% capital gains rate. Furthermore, we address Medicare IRMAA (Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount) surcharges, which increase premiums for those with a Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) exceeding $210,000.
