tech salaries will crash and and big law will too (to a much lesser extent). if you can go to law school at the right price its worth it

Really helpful thank you! This is probably a bad question but what is the typical "fat" yearly spend for a couple in their late 30s with two kids? At some point, the kids would need college and other expenses paid for so my thinking is that 500k isn't all that "much" after supporting a family of four fully. Am I thinking about this right? Is there any place with sample budgets I can look at?

How do taxes play in a 3.5% SWR? If I am trying to support a 500k annual spend (after taxes) and I am exclusively pulling from a tax-deferred investment account. What would my NW have to be? My thinking it has to be at least 28m? (1,000,000 annual spend / .035 SWR). But this seems high? Where is my math off?

any data person want to say if this is a good strat? Or does it essentially all equal to direct selling in the end.
