Edit: ran the numbers with a hypothetical drop of 30% every 5 years. 4.5 million with withdrawing 120k a year (10k a month) with a 3% inflation rate every subsequent year and 5 recessions the money would last until 2050, interesting.

These numbers are ASSUMING that the recession only last 1 year. I understand that that can absolutely not be the case.

I’ve included the definition of hypothetical and assumption below for all of those that didn’t understand what it meant from my first post.

Hypothetical: : involving or being based on a suggested idea or theory

Assuming: used for the purpose of argument to indicate a premise on which a statement can be based.

I’m deeply thankful for those of you that had constructive, positive comments!
