Others have reported 100% success rates per Firecalc at 100 year lifespans - bettern me McGee! I make attempts with Firecalc and the Quicken retirement calculators but can make them say about anything, depending on my pessimism at the moment. I read about historical returns and anticipated lower future returns and don't know what to use Doesn't help that we have little in the way of SS benefits or IRA money, no pensions, and mostly rental property income or very short term and variable hard money loan income.
I've been using 3% as an inflation rate and 3.5% as a rate of return in Quicken and pretending we sell all the rentals in 2019 for what the tax man says is their real market value. Assuming 28 years of retirement left and no wild desire to leave an estate.
