From 1989 to 2008, a twenty year time period, the S & P 500 averaged an 8.43% return. Because of the large bull run in stock in the 1990s, many people decided to retire right at the top in 1999. Having gotten used to 20% annual returns, many of those new retirees expected they could comfortably withdraw five percent annually from a fully invested equity account, and still watch their total net worth grow over time. Today, find out why an engineer in his sixties who retired with a million dollars--all in blue chip stocks at the end of 1999,  was left with less than three hundred eighty five thousand dollars just three years later--with thirty years to go in retirement. Did he get a "do over?" Unfortunately not! Find out what he got instead, in today's Market Intel segment--it's one that you definitely do not want to miss!  MASTERING MONEY is on the air!
