Beware of Survivorship Bias When Investing

  • Why you might consider earthquake insurance
  • What is survivorship bias and what are some examples
  • Why the U.S. is an outlier when it comes to stock market performance
  • Why the 4% retirement spending rule might be too high
  • If the 4% spending rule is too high, what can retirees do instead to have enough for retirement
