Andrea Subissati, Editor of Rue Morgue and Podcaster for Faculty of Horror The Bloody Judge for the 2026 Portland Horror Film Festival was Andrea Subissati, the Executive Editor of Rue Morgue. She is one of the most compelling voices within the horror community, and is a powerful advocate for women within the genre. Andrea was kind enough to set some time aside to talk some terror with us between feature film showings at the festival. We at the Scariest Things take our work seriously, but let’s be real. Rue Morgue is the real shit. It is a top-shelf professional horror periodical, and Andrea is a charismatic pro guiding that ship. We dabble in the eddies of horror film criticism. Rue Morgue is the river of horror discussions and sets the standard for horror journalism. As Bloody Judge, she delivered the keynote address to the festival, interviewed George Mihalka on stage for his Q&A for My Bloody Valentine’s 45th anniversary. Most importalntly, she also applied her horror wisdom to pick her favorite film in the festival. She selected Alect Patchin’s short film, “The Bargain”, a short film involving child abuse, revenge, religion, and a summoning. Andrea Subisatti arrives on stage at the Portland Horror Film Festival to give the Keynote Address Interviewing George Mihalka for My Bloody Valentine’s 45th Anniversary Q&A I asked Heather Alexander, who is a huge Subissati fan, to write an essay about Andrea’s influence on her as a prologue to our interview: Andrea Subissati is among the luminaries of horror. As the executive editor of the Canadian horror magazine Rue Morgue, she not only has her finger on the pulse of all things horror but is also a profound feminist voice in the genre. I've been reading her editorials, celebrity interviews and articles since she began her Rue Morgue reign in 2017. Her voice and vision have made me laugh and cry. It's given me perspective, made me feel seen, and inspired me creatively.  Andrea has a master’s degree in sociology and uses her big brain to analyze horror in relation to gender dynamics, culture, history, and the general state of the world. Her academics come into full focus in her intimidatingly brilliant and award-winning podcast, The Faculty of Horror, which she co-hosts with Alexandra West. It’s here that these two brainy horror queens have thoughtful, feminist, and incredibly researched discussions on horror movies and the impact they've had on the genre. I'm a lot late to the podcast party in general, so it's only recently that I've been a listener, but believe me when I tell you The Faculty of Horror is highly captivating. I knew Andrea was scheduled to be a judge and interviewer at this year's Portland Horror Film Festival. I didn't dream of meeting her, but I sure as hell wanted to be in the audience when she interviewed director George Mihalka after the fest's viewing of his movie, My Bloody Valentine. So I bought a ticket to that night's event. On June 4th, I left work early to head over to the film fest. In the car, I received a text from Eric Li, my friend and fellow podcaster on The Scariest Things. He asked if I was interested in interviewing Andrea with him. I read this text and almost had a heart attack. The festival started in an hour! I had no time to prepare! I can't embarrass myself in front of Andrea Subissati! But I also couldn't say no to this opportunity. So I rushed home, got a pep talk from my husband, and set about writing a few questions.   Turns out, I could have talked to her for hours. The woman is rad as hell, and what an honor to meet her, if only for a brief time, in a strange and probably haunted backroom at The Hollywood Theater. Andrea – thanks for lending us your time, I hope our paths cross again. Until then, I remain an avid Rue Morgue reader, and your newest Faculty fan.  – Heather Alexander Heather Alexander is a guest podcaster on The Scariest Things Podcast.

How to Handle a Market Bubble with Mark Biller

Many investors are wondering whether the market is getting ahead of itself, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence and technology stocks. But perhaps the better question is not, “Are we in a bubble?” The better question may be, “How should we respond if we are?” That was the focus of today's conversation with Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing. With AI continuing to drive market enthusiasm, many investors are feeling both excitement and concern. The challenge is learning how to respond with wisdom rather than fear. Why Investors Are Concerned About AI and Tech The AI story has been driving markets for several years. One clear example is the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which has risen sharply since the end of the 2022 bear market. More recently, many companies have reported rapid profit growth and have credited AI as a key factor. That has encouraged investors because it shows AI is not merely hype. Companies across many industries are beginning to see real benefits from AI tools, including improved efficiency and increased profitability. At the same time, the demand for AI computing power has caused certain sectors—especially semiconductor stocks—to soar. When any part of the market begins rising almost straight up, investors naturally become nervous. It brings to mind previous market manias that ended in painful declines. Is This Really a Bubble? Calling a bubble in real time is extremely difficult. Even when someone identifies one correctly, acting on that information too early can be costly. Mark pointed to the late 1990s internet bubble as an example. Many investors suspected that Internet stocks were overheated long before the bubble actually burst. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously warned about “irrational exuberance,” but that warning came more than three years before the market peak. Investors who sold immediately missed significant gains before the downturn finally arrived. That illustrates an important point: even if a bubble is forming, that does not tell investors exactly what to do or when to do it. Markets are forward-looking. Investors are pricing companies not only on current earnings but also on what they believe those companies may earn in the future. If expectations rise dramatically, stock prices often rise with them. So it is possible that some parts of the market, such as semiconductor stocks, may be showing bubble-like characteristics while the broader market does not look as overheated. But the practical question remains: how should investors respond? Avoid Fear-Based Market Timing Most investors would love to avoid downturns without missing the upside. But in practice, that kind of market timing is extremely difficult. Investors often make one of two mistakes. Some sell too early and miss major gains. Others wait too long and sell only after stocks have already fallen, and fear has taken over. That is why a disciplined plan matters. Instead of trying to predict the exact top of the market, wise investors focus on staying invested while managing risk thoughtfully. Historically, some of the market's strongest gains occur late in bull markets. That does not mean investors should ignore risk, but it does mean that fear-based decisions can be costly. Diversification Still Matters One of the most practical ways to manage risk is through diversification. A well-balanced portfolio helps reduce the risk of becoming overly exposed to a single hot sector. Mark offered a helpful way to think about it: if everything you own is rising at the same time, or if nothing you own is rising, you may not be truly diversified. But if some holdings are doing very well while others seem to be lagging, that may actually be a sign that your portfolio is properly balanced. Diversification can feel frustrating when one part of the market is racing ahead. But its purpose is not to maximize every short-term gain. Its purpose is to help investors remain steady through a variety of market environments. Rebalancing Is a Disciplined Way to Manage Risk Another practical tool is rebalancing. When one part of a portfolio has grown significantly, rebalancing allows investors to shift some gains out of fast-rising assets and back into areas that have not run up as much. This helps manage risk without requiring investors to predict the future. Rebalancing also has an emotional benefit. It gives investors a clear process to follow. Instead of asking, “Should I sell everything?” they can simply make measured adjustments in line with their plan. That kind of discipline can help investors avoid impulsive decisions driven by fear or excitement. Keep Reasonable Expectations Investors also need realistic expectations. Markets do not move up in a straight line forever. If you stay invested in strong-performing sectors, there is a good chance you will eventually give back some gains when leadership changes or when a bear market arrives. That is part of investing. The goal is not to avoid every decline. The goal is to participate in the market's long-term growth while managing risk wisely along the way. Even defensive investing comes with trade-offs. Playing defense too aggressively—or too early—can lead to false alarms and missed returns. Staying invested longer may bring more growth, but it also means enduring discomfort when markets pull back. There is no perfect way to avoid every downside while capturing every gain. Know Your Temperament Successful investing is not only about knowledge. It is also about behavior. Investors who tend to do well over time are often those who can remain patient, diversified, disciplined, and emotionally steady in both strong and difficult markets. That is especially important when headlines are filled with bubble talk. Fear can push investors to sell too soon. Excitement can push them to chase what has already risen. Neither is a wise foundation for financial decision-making. A Wise Response to Market Uncertainty When markets look overheated, investors do not have to ignore the risks. But they also do not have to be ruled by them. A wise response begins with a disciplined, diversified, long-term plan. Rebalance periodically. Keep expectations realistic. Understand your own temperament. And avoid making major decisions based on fear, excitement, or the latest market chatter. Markets can stay hot longer than many people expect, and guessing the exact turning point usually creates more problems than it solves. But a thoughtful strategy can help investors respond with wisdom rather than react emotionally.

Riccardo Moratto"Lettere d'amore di una dea" Xue MoBiblion Edizioniwww.biblionedizioni.itPrima uscita nella collana “Asiatica Biblion” di Biblion Edizioni: Lettere d'amore di una dea, di Xue Mo, traduzione e cura di Riccardo Moratto.Tra le vette dell'Himalaya e le distese silenziose dell'Oriente, la voce di una dea si leva per raccontare l'essenza stessa dell'amore e della spiritualità. Radicato nella cultura buddhista nepalese e nutrito dalle correnti filosofiche indiane e cinesi, questo testo straordinario ci conduce in una dimensione dove il mito si fa carne e la preghiera diventa poesia. In queste pagine, Xue Mo – una delle voci più profonde e originali della letteratura contemporanea – ci sfida a guardare oltre il velo delle apparenze, esplorando con coraggio i temi del sacrificio, della devozione e dell'impermanenza, intrecciando la saggezza millenaria del buddhismo con i battiti di un cuore umano e creando un ponte tra il sacro e l'effimero. Lettere d'amore di una dea non è solo un libro: è un'esperienza sensoriale. È il profumo dei fiori di prugno nella neve, il suono di un liuto antico che geme al vento, il riflesso di una luna calante che illumina il cammino verso la consapevolezza. Quest'opera ci invita a smarrirci nel mistero per ritrovare noi stessi, ricordandoci che anche nel mondo più fragile, l'amore è l'unica verità capace di restare. Un'opera coraggiosa che “risuona come il canto di una cetra nella notte”, destinata a chiunque cerchi nel libro non solo una storia, ma un rifugio per l'anima.Xue Mo 雪漠 (nom de plume di Chen Kaihong, nato nel 1963) è una delle voci più originali della letteratura cinese contemporanea e vice presidente dell'Associazione degli Scrittori della provincia del Gansu. I suoi romanzi indagano la convivenza di luce e oscurità nella natura umana e non esitano a confrontarsi con violenza e disperazione, ma conservano sempre uno spazio per la redenzione e la trasformazione. Anche nei recessi più oscuri dell'anima rimane un filo di coscienza e un barlume di umanità, che conducono il lettore verso il risveglio. Questa tensione tra luce e ombra testimonia la profonda comprensione della natura umana da parte di Xue Mo e la sua convinzione nel potenziale di crescita personale e trasformazione interiore.Riccardo Moratto è uno studioso di fama internazionale e rinomato sinologo, Distinguished Professor (特聘教授) presso la School of Foreign Languages della Tongji University e Vice Direttore del Research Center for Chinese Discourse and Global Communication (国家语委研究型基地中国对外话语体系研究中心副主任), nonché già Professore Ordinario presso il Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation della Shanghai International Studies University.

He joins Claudia to talk about how big drug breakthroughs have shaped how we live and what it will really take to build health in our society.Thomas and Claudia dive into:Fluoride: The paradox of public health success becoming invisibleWhy modern culture medicalizes ordinary human experiences like sleep, aging & energyHow public health needs to communicate differently, think bigger, and position itself as essential infrastructure for everyday healthThomas says the illusion of free will makes consumers feel like unhealthy choices are their choice alone:“There is some agency, like somebody decides to take a cigarette out of the pack. People decide whether to have a Coke instead of a glass of water or what have you. But there's also this vast machine, an invisible universe that is so powerful in compelling us from the commercials that are on our TV shows to the infrastructure of fast food in our neighborhoods. And it just is this easy inertia where oftentimes we don't actually have free will… We have much less free will than we think we do when it comes to things like what we eat, how we get our entertainment, where we live.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian stocks and US equity-index futures advanced on optimism that the US-Iran talks could lead to a peace deal. However, concerns over a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz have unsettled investors, pushing bond yields higher recently amid fears high oil prices will fuel inflation and force central banks to keep interest rates elevated. Even so, traders have largely brushed aside those risks since the war began in late February, propelling stocks to record highs on renewed enthusiasm for the artificial intelligence trade.

The Case for International Investing with Mark Biller

Over the past decade, U.S. stocks have been the center of the investing universe. And for good reason—the U.S. market remains one of the strongest and most influential in the world. But wise investing is not simply about looking at where the market has been. It also means asking where opportunities may be emerging next. That raises an important question: Should investors consider looking beyond U.S. markets? On today's show, Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, says the answer is worth careful consideration. While U.S. stocks remain important, global markets, currencies, and economic leadership are always changing. For investors seeking wise diversification, international investing may deserve a closer look. Why Consider International Investing? Historically, one of the main reasons to own international stocks has been diversification. Decades ago, foreign markets often moved more independently from U.S. markets. When U.S. stocks struggle, international stocks might perform better, helping smooth out a portfolio's ups and downs. That benefit has diminished somewhat as globalization has grown. Today, U.S. and foreign markets often move in the same general direction. But diversification is still not the only reason to consider investing abroad. Another reason is opportunity. Many strong companies are based outside the United States. Investors who focus only on domestic markets may miss out on growth taking place in other parts of the world. There is also a broader market-cycle consideration. U.S. and international stocks tend to trade leadership over long periods. One may outperform for a decade or more, and then the pattern can shift. After roughly 15 years of strong U.S. market leadership, foreign stocks may be positioned to become more competitive again. The U.S. Market Is Strong—But Not Permanent The U.S. economy remains the largest and strongest in the world. America benefits from deep capital markets, natural resources, innovation, and relative political stability. Still, Mark points out that U.S. financial assets have been “punching above their weight” for some time. U.S. stocks currently represent a much larger share of global stock markets than the U.S. represents of global economic output. That does not mean U.S. stocks are destined to decline. But it does suggest that today's level of dominance should not be assumed to last forever. The global economy is shifting toward a more multipolar world, where economic leadership may be spread more broadly across regions. If foreign investors begin directing more capital toward their home markets, international stocks could benefit. Why the Global Economy Matters One of the most important distinctions investors should understand is the difference between global stock market share and global economic output. According to Mark, U.S. stocks represent about 64% of the global equity market, while the U.S. share of global economic production is closer to 15%. That is a significant gap. There is no rule that a nation's stock market share must match its share of global economic activity. But those numbers have shifted over time, and there is no guarantee that the current U.S. share of global markets will remain this high indefinitely. For investors, this means it may be wise to pay attention to where economic growth is happening outside the United States—especially in emerging markets. The Opportunity—and Risk—of Emerging Markets Emerging markets can offer significant long-term growth potential. These countries often have growing populations, rising standards of living, and expanding economies. But that potential comes with higher volatility. Capital can move quickly in and out of emerging markets, creating larger swings in performance. Investors should understand that while the long-term growth story may be compelling, the risks are also greater. For that reason, emerging markets should generally be approached thoughtfully, as one part of a diversified strategy—not as a speculative bet. The Role of Currency Currency also plays an important role in international investing. Most Americans earn and spend in dollars, so they may not think much about exchange rates unless they travel internationally or buy foreign goods. But for investors, currency movements can have a meaningful impact. When a U.S. investor buys foreign stocks, returns are influenced by two factors: the performance of the foreign market and the movement of that country's currency against the U.S. dollar. If the foreign currency strengthens against the dollar, it can enhance returns for a U.S. investor. If it weakens, it can reduce returns. That means international investing is not just about foreign companies—it also involves exposure to global currencies. How Investors Can Add International Exposure For most investors, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are the simplest ways to add international exposure. These vehicles provide diversification across many companies and markets. There are several categories to understand. World funds can invest anywhere around the globe, including the United States. Investors should examine them carefully because some may still hold a large percentage of U.S. stocks. Foreign funds focus primarily on companies outside the United States. These offer more direct international exposure. Regional and country-specific funds focus on specific regions of the world. These may offer targeted exposure but usually come with greater risk. Emerging market funds focus on developing economies with higher growth potential and higher volatility. Each type of fund carries different levels of diversification and risk, so investors should consider how each fits within their broader financial plan. What About China? China presents a complicated picture for investors. The country has experienced tremendous economic growth, but its stock market has not always reflected that growth as investors might expect. Government involvement, market controls, and geopolitical concerns also create additional risks. Because of those factors, some investors choose to limit or avoid exposure to China while still investing in other emerging markets. Mark notes that Sound Mind Investing takes this approach by using emerging-market strategies that exclude China. How Much International Exposure Makes Sense? There is no single percentage that fits every investor. The right amount depends on goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and the rest of the portfolio. Still, Mark suggests that many U.S. investors may be underexposed to international markets. As a general starting point, many diversified strategies might allocate roughly 15% to 25% of the stock portion of a portfolio to international assets, with flexibility to adjust based on market conditions. The key is not to chase trends or overreact to recent performance. It is to build a thoughtful, diversified portfolio that recognizes both the strength of U.S. markets and the opportunities developing around the world.

Is it okay to save for retirement, and what should that look like? I've also been struggling with tithing. I often hear that I should give 10%, but that can be difficult.

Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren Fidelity Charitable has released an interesting study.  Among the findings: “Most pre-retiree and retiree givers (ages 50-80) are committed to giving and avidly supporting their favorite causes. Of the donors surveyed, over half of pre-retirees (56%) and retirees (59%) gave $1,000 or more—and 17% of all donors gave $5,000 or more—to IRS-qualified charities in 2023.” Christina Fidelity Charitable may think that level of support is “avid,” but it sounds pretty anemic to me. Warren It is. Retirees and so-called “pre-retirees” both give far less than the biblical tithe, or 10 percent of their income, taken in the aggregate. That said, working people in their 50s and 60s are often in their peak earning years, and often have their home paid for and their kids through school, so there is some evidence that they are giving more, just not a lot more relative to their income. Christina Any other interesting findings in this study? Warren The Fidelity study found that “more than three-quarters of these pre-retirees and retirees (78%) say that charitable giving plays a significant or pretty important role in their lives” and “almost one-quarter of pre-retirees and retirees (24%) say charitable giving is much more important than other financial priorities.” Christina Retirees are also spending more time as volunteers. Warren “In the last year, over two-thirds of pre-retirees (71%) and over half of retirees (55%) volunteered,” the report said. “Nearly 9 in 10 retired respondents who currently volunteer agree that volunteering is a way to remain active (88%) and connected (91%).” Christina Let's shift gears. The Anglican Church in North America has been in the news lately because of its chaplain corps. There was an ugly split a few months ago. But today, some good news. Warren Rear Admiral Carey H. Cash, an ACNA (Anglican Church in North America) chaplain, is the new Chief of Chaplains for the United States Navy Chaplain Corps. Rear Admiral Cash will provide spiritual leadership and pastoral oversight for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel and their families, strengthening spiritual readiness, moral resilience, and compassionate care in the midst of the unique challenges and demands of military service. Christina Warren, I already know that you are sucker for data and lists. Forbes magazine has a new list out, its annual list of billionaires. What can that list say, and what does it mean? Warren The new annual list from Forbes says there are now 3,428 billionaires on Earth. In 1987, the year Forbes started keeping track, the list had 140 names. The list included more than 400 new entries to the list. The growth of rich and super-rich motivated Washington Governor Bob Ferguson to sign into law the state's first income tax of any kind — a 9.9% “millionaires' tax” on income over $1 million. Christina And even some Christian groups are chiming in the subject. Warren The Christian online journal Mere Orthodoxy has an interesting analysis of the list. Its conclusion: the current wealth inequality is unjust. Christina But you disagree with most of the conclusions of this article. Warren I do. Most of the billionaires are rich because of their ownership in companies that create tens of millions of jobs. And there is that most important and overlooked fact of all in this conversation, and that is that we all die, and none of us take it with us. Most if not all the billionaires on the Forbes list got there because they built companies and stewarded them over time. Their personal wealth is usually incidental to the wealth they have created for others. Now, don't get me wrong. I think – as the Bible teaches – that those with wealth have much greater responsibilities. To whom much is given, much is expected. And the Bible has special condemnation for those of us who have wealth and yet ignore the poor, or structural injustices. But to make a blanket statement about the inherent injustice of wealth are painting with too broad a brush, and are ignoring many wealthy yet honorable people of the Bible. But, in a spirit of equanimity, here is the article. You can decide for yourself if its arguments hold water. Christina I also know you cover the world of journalism. And there have been some changes in the conservative journalism space. Warren The Daily Wire, after having its day in the sun, appears to be on the decline. The online magazine Puck recently reported a “sudden, precipitous decline of Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire,” with “sweeping layoffs and a steep drop-off in audience.” Christina On the other hand, the more even-handed Dispatch seems to be thriving. Warren I was particularly pleased to hear that The Dispatch had promoted my friend Michael Reneau to Executive Editor. According to a statement from The Dispatch, “Michael got his start in local journalism in East Tennessee, rising through the ranks to serve as editor of The Greeneville Sun before moving to national journalism, and eventually serving as editor of WORLD Magazine.” Christina You wrapped up your Signs and Wonders column this week with a few statistics from THINQ. Warren I was stopped in my tracks by some recent factoids from my friends at THINQ, the Nashville-based ministry led by Gabe Lyons. Among their gleanings: 23.7% of all Christian clergy in the U.S. are women, up from 2.3% in 1960. (Axios). And almost a quarter of American women aged 60 and over (24.3%) are on antidepressants. (CDC) You can sign up for THINQ's email bulletins here. Christina You're recording today from Dallas. That's the latest stop in what seems to be a lot of travel this spring. Warren I have had a lot of travel, but I'm not suffering. It has been tiring, but a lot of fun. It was a delight to meet with about 25 MinistryWatch supporters in Dallas this week. It is always fun to tell our story, but to tell it to such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience is even more fun. We will be doing similar events in upcoming weeks in Knoxville, Denver, and Colorado Springs. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. Christina That brings to a close this EXTRA episode of the podcast. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, along with Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Last week Cyprus was at the heart of EU developments. For two days it hosted leaders from the EU, from the Middle East, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Topics ranged from critical security issues and the war in Iran, to Europe's engagement with the broader Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. On the security front, Cyprus is keen to make the EU's Article 42.7, a mutual defense clause similar to NATO's Article 5, work in practice. There is a new sense of urgency around this issue after Cyprus was targeted by drones amid the fallout of the Iran war, and as a result of questions about Washington's commitments to NATO and European security. Konstantinos Letymbiotis, Ian Lesser, and Alexis Papachelas join Thanos Davelis this week as we break down the key takeaways from the EU leaders summit in Cyprus, including the debate around Article 42.7. In addition, we discuss French President Emanuel Macron's visit to Cyprus and Greece, a visit that raised important questions about Europe's future and its geopolitical role.  Taking us to our I am HALC segment, we're highlighting Judge Tom Sianis, a longtime member of HALC with a lifetime commitment to public service and justice. Elected to serve as a Cook County Circuit Court Judge in 2018, Judge Sianis is currently Presiding Judge of the First Municipal District. Throughout his career Tom has been a shining example of Hellenism in public service, from when his career took off at the Cook County State's Attorney's Office to his election to the bench.

Revisiting the “4% Rule” with Mark Biller

How much can you safely spend in retirement without running out of money? It's one of the biggest questions retirees face. For years, many people have looked to the well-known “4% rule” for guidance. But as helpful as that rule may be, it's not as simple—or as reliable—as many assume. Today, Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, joined us to revisit this widely used guideline and explain why a more flexible, personalized approach may better serve retirees. Why Retirement Spending Is More Complicated Than Saving Saving for retirement is often more straightforward than spending in retirement. During working years, many people invest consistently, contribute to retirement accounts, and let time and compound growth do their work. But retirement introduces a new challenge: no one knows exactly how long their money needs to last. That uncertainty changes everything. Retirees must make decisions while facing several unknowns: Future market returns Inflation rates Interest rates Healthcare costs Longevity Because of those variables, determining a “safe” withdrawal rate becomes one of the most difficult parts of financial planning. Where the 4% Rule Came From The 4% rule originated with financial planner Bill Bengen in the early 1990s. Instead of trying to predict the future, Bengen studied historical market data. He examined how retirees who began in difficult economic periods—such as the mid-1920s—would have fared over a 30-year retirement. His conclusion: an initial withdrawal rate of 4.15%, followed by annual inflation adjustments, would have sustained every portfolio in his study for at least 30 years, even under the worst historical conditions. That's an important detail. The 4.15% figure wasn't intended to be the ideal spending strategy for everyone. It was the lowest common denominator—the floor that worked even in the toughest scenarios. Over time, that finding was simplified into the “4% rule.” Many people began to treat it as the optimal answer for nearly every retiree. But according to Biller, that was never the point. Rules of thumb can be helpful as rough planning tools, especially for someone years away from retirement who is trying to estimate future needs. But once retirement draws near, more precision is needed. A single percentage cannot account for your income sources, goals, spending habits, tax picture, or life expectancy. What New Research Suggests Sound Mind Investing conducted its own analysis under different assumptions, including a 50/50 stock-and-bond portfolio that became more conservative over time. Their findings showed: A 5% initial withdrawal rate still worked even under difficult conditions. A 6% withdrawal rate succeeded in most cases, though some portfolios ran short near the end. At 7%, the risk increased significantly. Meanwhile, Bengen later revisited his original work with broader investment options and updated tools. His revised conclusions suggested: 4.7% may be a better minimum floor today. Around 5.25% may be the “sweet spot” in many scenarios. These updates reinforce an important truth: retirement planning is more dynamic than a single number can capture. Rather than anchoring to one percentage, retirees should build a plan around their full financial picture. That includes: Social Security timing and benefits Pension income Spousal benefits Expected expenses Lifestyle goals Taxes Healthcare needs Legacy desires Market conditions over time Financial planning software or a trusted advisor can help run simulations, stress-test scenarios, and make adjustments as life unfolds. Biblical Wisdom for Retirement Planning Scripture often commends wise planning while reminding us to hold our plans with humility: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance” (Proverbs 21:5). Yet we also remember that ultimate security is never found in formulas, portfolios, or percentages. Our trust rests in the Lord, who provides faithfully in every season. Retirement stewardship is not about discovering a perfect rule. It is about making wise decisions, remaining flexible, and managing God's resources faithfully over time. The 4% rule may still be a useful starting point—but it should not be the final word. When it comes to retirement, wise stewardship requires both diligence and flexibility. A personalized plan will almost always serve you better than a one-size-fits-all formula. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm retired and have $30,000 to invest.

As a publisher, his client list includes Joe Scarborough, Jesse Watters, Pete Hegseth, Dan Carlin, and Chris Rufo, among others. In this episode we discuss the following: Eric gave us a powerful lens for capturing attention: most advice lives on a dial (e.g., work harder, care more), but what actually sticks is a switch, something you either do or you don't. We all know that eating less and exercising more is what matters when trying to lose weight. But it's that third thing—the concrete, measurable action like drinking celery juice—that gets people to buy the dieting book. As Eric reminded us, it's not about being provocative for its own sake—it's about being provocative and defensible. The best ideas make people think, “I always believed this… now I can prove it.” I'm excited to use the lens Eric provided that helped him start making money in his career. He switched from being a dumb smart person, to a smart dumb person. Rather than advance the conversation for 1000 people, Eric entered the conversation of a million people.
