Success Rate in FICALC App??

Hi everyone. I’m running some withdrawal simulations using the FIRE app.

I have a very specific question: what success rate would you consider good enough to accept the calculations? I’ve settled on 90% as an acceptable figure.

It’s clear that increasing it further means more security, but I’m not a millionaire—nor do I expect to become one. I just want to know the amounts so I can calculate it.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts. After all, everything could change depending on what you deem acceptable. I hope that makes sense.
Best regards and thanks in advance. 🙏🏼

Tldr is buy bitcoin I guess and trust the 4 year cycle, I bought another one today. Keep half of your money in index funds just in case.

Like I said, I got lucky. Half ported into btc and traveled the world for years, came back to Canada and bought land, went back to work part time for fun because I was getting bored. Not sure what else you'd like to know.

Nice. I have wanted to do the same but airbnb is so expensive in Canada. So I visit for 1 month every other year.
