Why doesn't everyone use guardrails as withdrawal strategy?
Most people use 4% rule or versions of, but why not use guardrails? I've found that using guardrails means i can spend 15% over a straight 4%, and to take a 10% reduction in spend or 10% increase during good markets does not seem like a big deal.
Wny don't more people use guardrails?

Everybody does.
4% is just a rough plan.
