The 4% rule is now the 5.5% rule
I just read a comment on LinkedIn where Bill Bengen (of 4% fame) said that he now recommends 5.5% instead of 4% with all the same previous caveats.
“Thanks for the mention, Syd. I should like to add that the withdrawal rate I recommend for today's market conditions is about 5.5%, assuming a 30-year horizon, tax-advantaged account, COLA withdrawals, and no legacy.”
This is amazing news. 18x pot is certainly more achievable than 25x.
Does this change your approach to FIRE?
