This is nit-picky of me but at a 4% safe withdrawal rate (of 1200 that's $48), there's chance that that doesn't last thirty years (a common period for retirement analysis). The issue becomes sequence of returns risk. In early retirement circles, a lot of conservative folks will trends towards 3% or even 2% withdrawal rates to avoid potential for running out.
There's a lot of discussion and analysis out there on the internet if you search for "4% rule", "retirement withdrawal rates", and the like it you're curious.
Generally speaking 4% is solid, but would maybe move that number up a bit for a perpetual VM payment.
OP can also implement this concept themselves, it'd just be more accounting.
- hiAndrewQuinn 2y agoNo need to apologize, the 4% rule was indeed what I was thinking of here. The lower a % you can aim for, the higher your odds of not running into some variation of gambler's ruin at n years, where n = 10, 100, 1000... ... My real point is simply that eternity is expensive, at least if you have to pay up front.
