Once you figure out that little time travel bug, you're all set!The magic start year appears to be 1921.
I think that he'd need a couple of brass-plated cast-iron ones...Did crystal balls exist in 1921?
Fun with numbers. Isn't it great.
This little bit of trivia is a good reminder how fickle all of our planning is based on past data. I've seen other articles talking about success or failure based on specific time periods but this is the first time someone has brought up 1921. Of course, the stock market was great during the 1920's, at least up to late 1929. Maybe that was part of the "Roaring Twenties" or was that just the TV show?
It reinforces my basic plan of having a fixed base no matter what the stock market does and a variable travel/fun budget to take advantage of the upside. I wonder about people that need 3% SWR for a fancy lifestyle (I doubt they'll ever FIRE) just like I wonder about the people that FIRE on a near bread and water budget (any bumps and they're back at w*rk).
Hey this could be the 108th time. The year you retire. Never know! O0
