1st Paper: In Search of Your Numbers

"In Search of Your Numbers" * is a white paper (hasn't gone through an academic review process) referenced in the above Journal of Financial Planning papers. This white paper establishes the background for a method to determine a target end date for withdrawal planning that can be used for both pre- and post-retirees retirement income planning. The objective is to establish a sustainable retirement income, with a low probability that you may outlive that retirement income, based on sound academic thought. This white paper also discusses the application of retirement withdrawal rates to the pre-retiree.
