A very nice analysis of Ramsey's rant.

The interesting thing is that more than 1/2 of the retirement plans succeed with an 8% WR which is way higher than I would have guessed
Ramsey does more good than harm, IMO. Susie Orman is probably the opposite.
It also seems really important to reiterate in for early retirement 30 years isn't long enough time to measure. I retired in 2000, my WR was ~3% up until 2009 went over 4.5% as my portfolio shrunk to just over 1/2 its real value.
A 100% stock portfolio at 4% would be down to 140,000 year 2000$, $238K today. If I retired at 65 I'd be 88 and good chance I'd be dead. If I had fully paid off my home, I could probably make do with some help from family or the government for my remaining years.
At 64, I'd hate to have only $238K plus social security.
