The 4% rule was built on historical market returns at normal valuations — the CAPE ratio is now at 41, CPI came in at 3.7%, and FIRE retirees are often planning for 50 years instead of the 30 the original math assumed, and all three of those headwinds are hitting the same rule at the same time. This video breaks down why the mechanism matters more than the number: the 4% rule is a liquidation strategy, and selling shares to cover expenses in a year the market drops 30% means you’re effectively withdrawing 5.7% and locking in losses with fewer shares left to recover. The question worth answering before you quit your job is whether your retirement income plan survives 10 flat years starting on day one — because dividends and options premium don’t need the market’s permission to keep paying you.
