You ignored Harley's point regarding your inaccurate comment about inflation and SWR.
Thanks Jim for not calling me a liar. Not sure what part of my comment you believe was inaccurate.
I believe in the past most believed that you could take 4% SWR and could outlast your money. IMO in today's world it might not be about outlasting your money but taking a SWR that never goes down to leave your kids.
“If history is any guide for the future, then withdrawal rates of 3% and 4% are extremely unlikely to exhaust any portfolio of 50/50 stocks and bonds.“
I would not only worry about inflation. There are lots of variables at play here, including present stock and bond valuations, inflation, and yields on Treasuries, which will influence returns in the coming years.
I am not pulling close to 4% SWR and doing GREAT.
I am NOT or claim to be and EXPERT. I only stated what i have read to come to a conclusion. I could be WRONG. Some of this was copied from:
