Retirement, split by when you spend it

Three buckets. One question: does the money last?

Kitne saal chalega?

A thirty year retirement needs equity to survive inflation. It also needs you to never sell equity in a crash to buy next month's groceries. Splitting the corpus by when you will spend it solves both: near term money sits in cash, and market noise never touches the bills. Set your numbers and watch it run, year by year.

A 30 year retirement. Plan long: outliving the money is the real risk.
Type "3cr" or "75L". Everything you have earmarked for retirement.
What you will spend in the year you retire, not today. If that is years away, use today's spending grown by inflation. This tool starts the clock on retirement day.

12% is a long run hope for equity, not a promise. Some years will be negative.
