Post Body

Even though the goal is to live off the returns on the principle balance and not touch the principle during retirement, does it really matter whether or not you burn through your nest egg at that point? I mean, you can take it with you. The only other use would be to leave it to your family.

No one knows but 4% is going to last longer than 8% in almost every simulation. 8% makes you incredibly vulnerable if you were to retire in a fall 2008 environment. It's not even ancient history, Dave was on the air and saw it happen and still advises 8%.
