Impact of Inflation

If you need $3,000/month now, you'll need $6,300/month in 30 years. With 2.5-3% average annual inflation, everyday prices will more than double.

💡 You must account for inflation in retirement planning to maintain purchasing power.

🎯

4% Rule (Trinity Study)

According to Trinity University's 70-year data analysis, "withdrawing 4% of retirement funds annually allows them to last 30+ years without depletion."

Retirement Fund Calculation
Annual Expenses × 25 = Required Retirement Fund
Example: $3,000/month needed → $36,000/year × 25 = $900,000

💡 Using a conservative 3.33% withdrawal rate (30x multiplier) enables safer retirement planning.
