자주 묻는 질문

Is the 4% rule safe?

Historically yes (over 30 years, 95% success). But assumes 60/40 portfolio, US history, and moderate spending flexibility. Extend to 50+ years? Lower to 3–3.5%.

What if markets crash in early retirement?

Sequence of returns risk. Big crash year 1 is bad (selling low). Mitigate: keep 2–3 years expenses in cash, be flexible on withdrawal amount, rebalance.

Can I withdraw more in good years?

Yes. Guardrails approach: if portfolio > target, spend more; if < target, spend less. Keeps you disciplined without rigid 4% rule.
