NY Times Article on 4% Withdraw and Retirement
« on: May 10, 2015, 07:02:33 PM »
NY Times Story about a version of the 4% withdrawal approach to planning for retirement. Nearly no mention of how to get to the point of safe retirement and general frugal badassity.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/09/your-money/some-new-math-for-the-4-percent-retirement-rule.html?ref=your-money&gwh=63651956F94230B1A4095342DDB464C6&gwt=pay&assetType=nyt_now 

Folks should light up the message board! :) spread the frugal word!

I guess the article is written from the viewpoint of mainstream standard retirement age.  With earlier retirement as a quaint oddity.
