Ep #167: Are the Returns You Expect from Your Investments Realistic?

For those who haven’t heard of Dave Ramsey, he’s an American radio personality who gives financial advice to roughly 18M listeners a week. Oddly enough, he isn’t actually a financial advisor; he does not have his own clients. Yet he has written several books on finance and his words carry a lot of weight. Mr. Ramsey recently had a pretty controversial statement go viral regarding how much a retirement portfolio earns and how much can safely be withdrawn from said portfolio in retirement.

On today’s episode, we want to speak to several of his outrageous comments and talk generally about investment expectations and realities.
