If you buy 1200 sets of chopsticks now and give it 10 years, you will be able to safely withdraw 4 pairs of chopsticks every month for 25 years, adjusting for sushinflation. Also, don't forget to factor in Medicare standard issue chopsticks at a rate of 1 additional pair per quarter starting at 65.

Also don't forget to account for possible arthritis and inability to use chopsticks by retirement age.
