« on: August 14, 2016, 06:09:31 AM »
Hi all!

What sources/methods do you use to project future return to apply to your FIRE scenarios?

Yes, cFIREsim. Average return on investments is much less important than the sequence of returns you experience over the life of your retirement period. It's a great tool that uses real historical data.

Print the table shown in Callan periodic table of investment returns - Bogleheads, hang it on the wall, then throw darts and read the answers closest to the dart holes.

Or assume 4% nominal growth with 3% inflation.

Not sure which approach is better. :)
