That's why I said "investment net worth". You want to pick at each and everyone's posts, you should read them more closely instead of taking shots at things nobody said. Nobody was talking about including real estate in net worth for this purpose.You likely don't want to plan on a withdrawal rate as a percent of your net worth. Net worth typically includes things (like homes) that cannot be spent in small amounts. Withdrawal rate should be calculated from a narrower set of assets.
I've gone over this too many times already. It's more complicated to do this for income sources that are far in the future. I know there are ways to do this with things like short term buckets, but there's nothing wrong with my method, and no reason for you to tell me what I should do instead.Instead, you reduce your required withdrawal by the amount you'll be receiving from income sources like pensions and social security.
