4% rule for retirement
Just curious… I keep seeing the 4% withdrawal rate mentioned here, and a lot of people talk about needing around $3 million for retirement. Are you planning to pass that wealth on to the next generation? Because from what I understand, with a 4% withdrawal rate you’d still have that $3 million sitting there after 30 years.
And I was running some numbers too — if your spending is around $4.5K a month, you’d only need roughly $500K at age 67 to keep that balance going basically forever. The government pension would cover a chunk of your spending anyway. Obviously that’s all based on today’s rules, and things can always change.
