Date: July 7th, 2025 3:10 PM Author: Green Chest-beating Sanctuary Mental Disorder This seems about right. $10 million yields $300k pretax annually under the 3% rule, and assume 1/3 tax rate (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5747172&forum_id=2).#49079556) |
|
Date: July 7th, 2025 3:10 PM Author: carnelian odious piazza lettuce There is no 3% rule. No one needs to be that conservative. There is no version of the Trinity Study which supports this. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5747172&forum_id=2).#49079558) |

Date: July 7th, 2025 3:12 PM Author: Adulterous sadistic field newt its not even that conservative dude. inflation, fees, fines, taxes, etc gobble up all of your supposed "earnings". the economy isnt really growing faster than that.

|
Date: July 7th, 2025 3:15 PM Author: Green Chest-beating Sanctuary Mental Disorder To my mind, 3% is aggressive going forward and a 2.5% or even 2% rule is probably more appropriate (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5747172&forum_id=2).#49079584) |
|
Date: July 7th, 2025 4:07 PM Author: Electric grizzly juggernaut national 3% cagr means you could live 45 years with $5M on $200K spend and not run out of $. If you can get 5% then you can do $4.2M and never have your balance drop.
edit: factor 2% inflation to the $200K spend - you'd run out of $ in 45 years with $5M
edit v2: I guess if you pay 25% taxes you'd run out of $ in 30 years vs. 44 and change, assuming you pay taxes on the $ you withdraw/spend |

Date: July 8th, 2025 6:02 AM Author: ruby cerebral mother institution Even if you are single, do no tax planning and have no deductions whatsoever, and every penny of income is STCG or dividends, the effective tax rate is still less than 25%. Additional medicare tax and NIIT pushes it to a bit over 26%. Even in the basic worst case scenario you don't pay 33%. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5747172&forum_id=2).#49081696) |

Date: July 7th, 2025 3:11 PM Author: carnelian odious piazza lettuce Between $4m-$5m depending on how conservative/aggressive you want to be. That's to get $200k pre-tax (increasing annually for inflation); you'd need to adjust upward if you want a post-tax figure. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5747172&forum_id=2).#49079563) |

Date: July 7th, 2025 3:36 PM Author: Stimulating high-end temple national security agency Think of it this way. Hedge funds typically charge 2 and 20 (2% management fee on the principal, plus 20% of that year's return as a performance fee). So think of yourself as the manager of your personal "fund".
If you assume you're getting an 5% rate of return on your invested capital on average (pretty conservative), then you'd need $6,666,667. This would give a management fee of $133,333 plus a performance fee of $66,667 (6,666,667 * .05 * .20), which adds up to $200k. If you assume a 10% rate of return (maybe too aggressive) then you'd only need $5 million.
I am ignoring taxes here, you'd need a higher amount if you want $200k post tax. |

|
Date: July 7th, 2025 4:27 PM Author: Stimulating high-end temple national security agency And yet, the answer it gives (between 5 and 7 million) is the same as everyone else is saying. It's a reasonable rule of thumb that still lets the principal grow. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5747172&forum_id=2).#49079896) |

|
Date: July 7th, 2025 3:52 PM Author: aphrodisiac effete pit you probably literally only need $4m for that. Assuming you are reasonable with it. e.g., take out less during down market years, take out more when the market is up/stable.

|
Date: July 7th, 2025 3:59 PM Author: Adulterous sadistic field newt the reality though is that you should actually spend the 200k or even 100k unless youre puting a kid through college or something. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5747172&forum_id=2).#49079762) |

Date: July 7th, 2025 4:00 PM Author: fragrant masturbator Depends, how much of the principal do you want to leave behind? Assuming all or most of it, and a 4-6% withdrawal rate and 35% estimated taxes you'd need between 5-7.5m. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5747172&forum_id=2).#49079773) |

Date: July 7th, 2025 5:36 PM Author: carnelian odious piazza lettuce "Leaving behind" makes almost no sense unless you're talking truly generational wealth, which the OP isn't. It's another shit boomer concept, i.e., it's cool to be shitty egoists all your life because you'll leave son Johnny and daughter Lisa $4.1m when you die at 93 which will somehow absolve your sins.

Date: July 7th, 2025 4:22 PM Author: Bearded erotic address factory reset button why is everyone assuming ~1/3 in taxes? that’s a high blended rate for that level of income in the first place, and i wouldn’t think it would be too hard to structure most of the income as LTCG. this admittedly leaves aside the issue of taxes remaining close their current rates indefinitely.
