The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

Yes, in most cases I would be better to keep that money invested and spend from the account. I am retiring early and 100% of my income will have to come from retirement savings for the next 7 years. If the market were to have a prolonged downturn say 50%, I would still have to spend from the account. This pretty much mitigates the sequence of returns risk. Also, this put my wife 100% on board with me retiring. She will work a couple more years and carry our insurance. I looked at other options like having 5 years in bonds and cash and I am sure that would work too.

It protects you from a possible downturn but also locks you in to losses from inflation right? $5k a month now probably won’t be nearly the same thing as $5k a month in 2030.

That is correct
