@womble7 Dude why are you trying to reinvent the wheel. The 4% rule includes inflation adjustments and investment returns(balanced portfolio).

Seems like you do not trust the financial markets if that is the case maybe you should do research about becoming landlord.

Rental yields can be around 3-4% if you invest in small flats. Also most of the time they perfectly track inflation.

You can keep buying them one at a time and renting them out until you reach your magic income one day and then you can retire.

Most of your net worth will be in real estate so be careful about location. Do not put all in one city because if something like a serious water crisis happens those investments will be worth 50% of their value due lack of renters.
 
@haileylynn I do trust the markets and have 60 percent equity allocation as of today

Tbh i donot know the 4 percent rule will surely explore and as someone else also pointed out read the wiki..
 
@womble7 In simple terms let's say your expenses are 4 and so you need capital of 100.

Statistically speaking average returns are 3-4% more than inflation and that is what you are consuming.

I year one let's say your returns were 12% while inflation was 8%, you consume 4% while reinvesting the excess 8% to counter inflation.

The big thing with this rule is if you capital falls due to bad market conditions your 4% will be less than 36 lacs and you will have to manage your expenses with that. On the flip side if market is good that 4% will be more than 36 lacs.
 
@ssbc 75K/month with 10% step up at 12% return, in 30 years will be approx 66 crores.

But keep in mind that 10% step up is very ambitious goal. You are assuming that your savings (or say Salary) will grow 10% every year for next 30 years, but marriage, kids, unexpected expenses, inflation, etc can put a dent on it.

A 5% step up would be more realistic, which will give you 39.5 crores.
 
@resjudicata That's a really good figure as well. I am aiming for 25-30 crores for retirement in the next 30 years. I am 25 currently and want to retire around 50-52 maybe. Considering inflation cost and everything is 25-30cr enough to retire after 30 years ?
 
@mrmajesty
Why you want to live till 90? And would you with this strees?

Hell yeah! Jk! Well i surely want to have started focussing on my health for the same... Well stress i need to manage still😅

1cr is raise one kid?
1.8 cr(in current valuation) buddy that too a rough estimate from net.

The whole point of above exercise was to reach a rough estimate and optimise my way up to a more realistic figure.
 
@womble7 Who will purchase your 18-year-old 20L car at 4x the price (80L) ? Are you crazy or did I get your post wrong ? Same goes for house. House & car are depreciating assets.
 
@sandflea No u got it wrong,
So i wanted to convey that i will buy a car and a house after retirement.

A house whose current cost is 1cr would cost 4cr after 18 years (8%inflation)
Same goes for car whose current cost is 20l would cost 80l.
