Pack-
Thx for the post. I first read Pfau on this forum in a thread from Nords, and it makes sense to me. Note that Nords gets a mention at the end.
This (floor with upside potential) is our most likely plan. We will use SS + small COLAd pension + SPIA (or another vehicle) to guarantee income for "essential" expenses, then an equity/bond AA at a SWR (using Clyatt's 95% rule) for remaining "discretionary" expenses.
However, we'll need to use withdrawals from our nest egg for several years until both the pension and SS have kick in. I've just run ORP for the first time to get guidance on where to take/move the funds from/to.
