But I also present all the remaining posts as they fall into several major themes. OK, after the intro, what else would you want to read? Maybe you found interesting sub-topics and relevant links already when reading through Part 26 or Part 50. But we don’t have to overdo the precision either! In the follow-up post, Part 47, I go through a few case studies and show when it’s OK to wing it and when it’s time to worry about those nitty-gritty details of the withdrawal rate analysis. New to the site here? Do you think that rigor and math don’t belong in retirement planning? Why not just wing it? In Part 46, I detail my thought process and why I like to perform my careful, customized, and rigorous retirement withdrawal simulations, not despite but exactly because we face so many uncertainties in retirement. ![]() It turns out that I found many aspects of running my own (early) retirement finances, essentially a pension fund with two beneficiaries, that are much more complex than running a pension fund for thousands of beneficiaries! Compare and contrast our personal challenges to those of large corporate and public pension funds. Part 32 – You are a Pension Fund of One (or Two).That phase is much more complicated and the reason why I have written 30+ parts on this topic! But the simplicity of accumulating assets can’t be so easily extrapolated into the withdrawal stage. Probably you’ve heard about MMM’s Shockingly Simple Math and JL Collins’ Simple Path to Wealth. If you attended the April 2018 CampFI in Virginia where I was one of the presenters, you’ll recognize a lot of the material in Part 27 – Why is Retirement Harder than Saving for Retirement? : Another more philosophical, not-so-technical post, perfectly suited for folks trying to get started. ![]() As the titles suggest, these are tongue-in-cheek posts where I debunk some of the myths surrounding FIRE and the 4% Rule.
