As I get closer to retirement (and more and more nervous!) I'm trying out many different scenarios on FireCalc. This time I tried putting in my pension and social security, which will come to about $40,000 per year together, and only put $10,000 in for my portfolio, to try to simulate having no portfolio. It gave a "100%" spending amount of $1,600 a year. That seems odd, considering I'll have a guaranteed income of $40,000 per year with the pension and social security.
Can anyone explain this to me?
