As a inflation hedge , could one just work enough to equal the inflation rate for the 1st 5-7 years of FI. For example, if your annual withdrawl is 48k and inflation rate is 5%, that equals $2400 or $200 per month to be earned. ASSUMING, you don't earn minimum wage would this approach not have a mitigating affect on worrying about the inflationary effect on your portfolio especially during the early withdrawl years AND the taxes on the $200/month would be miniscule.
I bring this up because I read on this board and other sites about the huge concern with the cost of living/inflation and how it can put a dent in the best laid ER plans.
This or some modification might be one solution.
