I'm 61 and have a military pension that pays about 1/2 of our expenses. DW and I will be eligible for SS in about 4 years which should cover the other 1/2 of expenses.
So basically my portfolio is covering mostly non-essential purchases for us.
My WR is about 3.5% at the present and lets us live very comfortably. But we could perhaps go out to dinner more often or take pricier vacations if I went to 4%.
On the other hand, should I stick to 3.5% and then occasionally take out $$ for vacations, etc?
