Shabby
Recycles dryer sheets
OK, I am 1-4 months away from FIRE and making sure I have all this right.
My Plan:
1X Annual Need = Cash
2X Annual Needs = MM 2.5%
Nest Egg = 100% Wellesley making 4-5% in Dividends
I spend from the existing Cash pile to live. My dividends don't get reinvested so they become my new Cash. The dividends are slightly more than I budgeted for annual spend. Life goes on. No need to rebalance. Wait for SS to kick in for more $$. Relax. Safe.
P.S. Yes I know I am conservative and the AA on VWINX might not be what you would do. I am more wondering about the logistics of where to take the cash from and replenish it.
