Financial Independence & The 4% Rule Explained

What is the 4% Safe Withdrawal Rate (SWR)?

Based on the famous Trinity Study, an investor withdrawing 4% of their portfolio in year one (and adjusting for inflation every year thereafter) has a 96% historical probability of never running out of money across any 30-year market period in modern history. The inverse of 4% is 25, meaning you need 25 times your annual expenses invested.
