DIY / RULE OF THUMB
Guess
withdrawal rate, no stress test
- Pick a 4% rule and hope the market cooperates
- No test against a bad market in years 1, 2, or 3
- No year-by-year tax integration with CPP and OAS
- RRIF and TFSA drawn in whatever order feels right
- No flex when actual returns and life events diverge
