Just curious what folks are planning to use as a savings withdrawal rate. Particularly those that are young (30 to 40s) and retiring without a pension who might have 50-60 years in ER.
We all pretty much have heard that the 4% rule will keep you from eating cat food (unless you want to) in old age. However, if 4% is safe then 2% must be twice as safe and thus be even more bullet proof.
I plan on using 2.5% to 3% but it is not based on any research, just "gut" feeling and a desire to not return to work when I'm 80.
