    4% is a very rough guide, it doesn't account for tax and is more US orientated in my view. I prefer to work on 3.5% but even that isn't a target its a just a finger in the air, I wouldn't tell anyone to base their withdrawals on it.

    Interesting video. James shack is excellent. I think 4% is a good guide but I would recommend a professional model to undertake a monti Carlo simulation.

    I wonder how many of the 35 year olds talking about pensions have the luxury of define benefit pensions. They're only 20 years behind you but their retirement is going to look a lot different to yours.
