Would you believe 1.9%? That’s the conclusion of new research that replicates the original research that led to the 4%, but with more realistic assumptions about our life expectancies and a more comprehensive historical data set.
I recently purchased something similar from Costco. If you have no plans to use the rendered fat from cooking uncooked bacon, the precooked bacon is the way to go in my opinion. I wrap a couple of strips in paper towel and nuke it for like 40 seconds - they turn into salty delightful crisps. I cook them less to add to eggs, etc too. No mess to deal with afterwards either. And much cheaper.Yeah, honestly just went to Sam's yesterday (upon return from the frozen tundra of the midwest) and bought a pack of 72 strips of pre cooked bacon. It cost just over $20. Thinking in terms of buying bacon strips (even at Denny's) that's quite a deal.
IIRC 3 lb of raw bacon was about the same price (and roughly similar number of strips.) SO... I think it's still a deal. If I DO ever contemplate doing myself in - I think the bacon diet is the way to go![emoji23]

I find it fascinating that so many financial and retirement related threads, including this current one on the subject of safe withdrawal rates, eventually turn to the subject of bacon.
You have me heading for the fridge to grab a few pieces for my early morning snack! I always cook it but you don't even have to do that. You can eat it from the package AND you don't really need to refrigerate it. Refrigeration makes it keep longer (without becoming rancid) but you can travel with it just in the package or in pre-made sandwiches. What a flexible, delicious treat. YMMV

Help me here....you said 72 strips of bacon...in a 10.5 ounce package? Is that correct? If so, the strips must be very thin. Correct?
He may be talking about something like this which originally was 4 lbs of bacon. You lose a lot of weight rendering the fat out of the bacon. https://www.amazon.com/Hormel-Black...wicXNhIjoiMy45NSIsInFzcCI6IjMuOTgifQ==&sr=8-2

Can you freeze these after opening, for more long term storage? ...
I've never known one person to make that assumption in real life. The rule is simply calculated on that. But one problem is that real inflation is higher than the official government inflation figures used in those SWR studies, so the studies make it look more favorable that you won't run out of money.

Hmm... Travel with bacon. In the pocket of your trouser? You can then pull out a strip anytime while sitting in a trans-Atlantic flight to snack on. I'll bet if you had a craving of bacon inflight, the stewardesses would not be able to help out, even if you flied business class. Hence, a well-prepared bacon enthusiast must keep some with him at all time.

Heh, heh, before leaving the mainland homestead, DW put the last of the mainland bacon into PB samiches. So, flight attendant didn't need to provide bacon. BUT TSA spent 5 minutes looking at, wanding and "trace analysis rubbing" the samiches (through the plastic wrap, thank goodness.) I joked to DW that since we got there early (7:30AM) TSA wasn't busy so spent 10 minutes wanting her knees and 10 minutes worried about our carry-on food. By 11:00AM, I'm sure they wouldn't have bothered. YMMV
Yep, very thin indeed. AND every piece is virtually perfect. Same size and weight as the others. It all tastes exactly the same. Nothing is ever burned and pieces come out crisp and never broken. It's a miracle of modern marketing and production. God Bless America!!! (and bacon.)
Is it made from pork?

I was wondering that too since it looks like a reproduction. Something like the "bacon" treats I give my dog occasionally. Since fake ground beef is available, I would imagine fake bacon could be manufactured too, and maybe out of vegetable products, salt, coloring, flavoring,etc.
