...At any rate, I used your consistent market growth 0% market growth -0% fixed income -3% inflation scenario and the 100% success threshold 30 year withdrawal rate was 1.98%. This literally models putting your money under your mattress in a 3% inflation environment! IMO, the consistent market growth option shouldn't be used to model any real world scenario except under the mattress...
...If you actually plan to invest in equities and fixed income but you want to model a net 0% return to be "most conservative/cautious", I think you'd have to select the fourth Your Portfolio option, random performance, and enter 0% portfolio return, 10% standard deviation (default, unless you believe otherwise) and 3% inflation. That results a 100% success threshold 30 year withdrawal rate of about 0.9%!...
Anyone know how to have Firecalc display withdrawal rates?
I found this older post (59988) today while researching the same question as the original OP. In part of Midpack's reply she showed a withdrawal rate from Firecalc. (see above)
Anyone know how Midpack was able to get Firecalc to display withdrawal rates ?
