Most people think about reallocating away from risk.....

But how many are reconsidering their expenditures/lifestyle?

How bad does it have to get for you to tighten the reins or even make a lifestyle change?

the whole idea of a safe withdrawal rate is just for this reason . it does not try to rule out downturns , it allows for them , it plans for them . the real surprise is when outcomes are anything better than worst . no changes at all . we will certainly have these over the years

Pension covers all expenses with enough left over to continue investments. This is starting to look like a significant buying opportunity.

Although I expect the market to go back up again I'm leaving my cash in cash for now.

Will you withdraw less next year? In actual amounts, not percentages.

You are pre-retirement (ie , accumulation phase), right?

Not that it matters....;-)

Interest rates are rising because of a greatly improving economy, and threat of inflation that always follows. That creates volatility. Act accordingly.

No idea yet . Our spending plan is dynamic . We will get the higher of 4% of the actual balance or 5% less than last years draw . So we don’t know until 12/31
