I'm 58 With $800,000 Saved, Can I Retire in 5 Years Without Social Security Yet?

At 2.16% annual inflation, purchasing power erodes slowly but steadily. Using the 4% withdrawal rule, $800,000 supports roughly $32,000 per year in initial withdrawals, adjusted annually for inflation. The critical nuance: withdrawing 4% during the first 7 years exposes you to sequence-of-returns risk. A 20% market drop in year one means selling assets at depressed prices, permanently reducing recovery potential.

Without incorporating realistic longevity assumptions into glide path design, withdrawal strategies and income solutions, participants face a heightened risk of outliving their savings.
