I just ran the advanced version of FireCalc and arrived at a 5% withdrawal rate for 40 years at a 97.4% success rate.
All entries were left at default except I changed 30 years to 40 years and entered the following investment allocation:
Us Micro: 10%
Us Small: 10%
Us Small Value : 10%
Us Large Value: 40%
US LT Bond: 10%
LT Corp. Bond: 10%
1 Month Treasury: 10%
When I run the above with ESR Bob's 95% withdrawal rule I get 100% success.
Since I thought the standard SWR advice is 4% even using FireCalc, I am wondering if this is some anomoly or is 5% really feasable based on historical data?
