The topic of SWR usually transgresses into very complicated forumulas, and soon leaves the real world.
I would guess that anyone that had computed an SWR with the assitance of NASA and MIT Graduates would make some changes once they saw their portfolio plunge 40% by a bear market.
The whole idea of a fixed withdrawal amount over 35 years is ridiculous. It's good for basic planning purposes, but does anyone actually believe that someone would start out in the year 2000 or 2003 with a SWR of 3.8% and stick to this number for 35 years?
