4 hours agoI'm Retiring With $300,000. Will It Last 25 Years?
A $300,000 retirement savings can last if withdrawals are managed conservatively, particularly following the 4% rule.
A nest egg of $18 million per year is very large. At a safe 3.7% withdrawal rate, the Redditor could spend $666,000 per year. Since the OP said he's spending $300K plus his mortgage payments, he's most likely well below that amount (depending on just how much the mortgage balance is). Since his income needs would be more than met by his savings, there's really very little reason to continue doing work he doesn't enjoy.
