I'll say 30 because that's close to the slightly longer time frame I've based my drawdown on, at which point I could theoretically be left with only SS, although the odds are I wouldn't be broke yet if my health prevailed longer, since most scenarios do better than the SWR in protecting you against running out of money.

Honestly, I’d love to get another 15 active and very healthy years, but no one knows. We have many friends in their late 60’s and the 70’s. Nope, getting older is not for the weak. Got to live while the living is good!
