And right or wrong, many of us (self included) weren't/aren't comfortable pulling the retirement trigger until our success rate appears to be 100%, 150% or even as much as 200% (nest egg 2X the 100% success rate).
If you really have a good success rate 80% or higher, you are on track. Waiting to get from 90% to 100% is 100% certain way of spending more time working and eating dog food now, to avoid a 10% chance of having to work or eat dog food later.
But what do I know. I'm retiring in 3 weeks.
