4% of 500k is 20k. Where is your 9k number coming from?



Wow, no idea how I screwed that simple math up other than just being overly distracted. Yes 4% of $530k is $21k better but not enough to live on and if OP triples it he can safely withdraw $60-65k. Thanks for the correction.

Think 4% is too conservative a withdrawal rate? I'm considering early retirement soon so I'll need my nest egg to last 40-50 years. For a later retirement a more aggressive spend plan is more likely to work out.

Could you really live for 40-50 years Without working? I understand the whole Mr. Money Mustache schtick, but I would go crazy if I had nothing to do for 40 years. I’d rather work 3 days a week between age 50-65 for my own mental sanity, than completely retire.
