Illustrative only, not financial advice. Withdrawals are taken at the start of each year and the remainder grows at that year's return. Taxes and fees are ignored. Simulated outcomes usually trail the steady-return line because bad years early in retirement do lasting damage (sequence-of-returns risk).
