What's your drawdown/withdrawal rate? Just curious, because just as I think it would be easier to take the recent drubbing if one gets a generous pension and SS, I also think it would be easier to take if you were living off of 2% a year instead of 4%.OK, I fit that description. No pension, no SS (yet), living 100% on withdrawals from 45/55 portfolio - down 20% from last summer's high point.
Even though 4% is pretty well tested for a portfolio in the 50-70% equities range, it still takes quite a bit of fortitude to be withdrawing 4% in this market without nervous tics.
