The 4% withdrawal rule
The "4% rule" (Bengen, 1994) suggests withdrawing 4% of your nest egg annually gives a 95%+ chance your money lasts 30 years. On $1M, that's $40,000/year ($3,333/month). Adjust based on your risk tolerance and timeline.
The power of time
Starting at 25 vs 35 with identical contributions: the 25-year-old ends up with roughly 2× as much. The difference is entirely compound growth — the money that money makes.
Am I saving enough?
💡 Rule of thumb: aim to replace 70–80% of pre-retirement income. Social Security covers ~$20,000–$30,000/year for average earners. Your nest egg needs to fill the gap.
