Former JPMorgan exec takes on Social Security advisory role
Matt Zames will take on an unpaid adviser position at the Social Security Administration, according to reports.
With $750,000 in savings, a pension of $1,500 per month, and aiming to withdraw around $1,700 monthly for eight years before claiming Social Security at 70, the situation appears viable. Delaying Social Security benefits up until age 70 can significantly increase monthly payments, with a potential increase of up to 24% from the benefit at full retirement age (67).
In this scenario, withdrawing from the 401(k) offers a low risk due to the modest withdrawal rate of 2.72%. However, it is essential to evaluate personal preferences, risk tolerance, and potential changes in financial circumstances. Consulting a financial advisor can help determine the best strategy aligned with individual needs and goals.
