Opposite of Spendthrift--Not Knowing SWR

[audreyh1]

On our European trip, we have been consciously spending more, like ordering the most expensive wine by the glass and staying more upscale (like The Imperial Palace in Annecy).

I must admit that it is not natural but we are liking the results so far. OTOH we decided that the cost of laundry in the hotel was more than we could handle. And we have enough clothes to get to our apartment in Nice.

Oh yeah forget hotel laundry. Per piece! Sometimes it's not easy, but we usually find a laundromat. Tourist office is a good source.

Quick dry/wool. Wash with soap or shampoo every night in the shower. Never worry about clothes again. You can get decent looking kakis and golf polos. I don’t like going places that require more

What is currently considered a "safe" withdrawal rate? Is there a formula?

Hehe, nothing is "safe", not even a safe. They all can be cracked.

Just good fodder for discussion, nothing else.
