Net worth tends to peak in retirement and decrease for people ages 75 and up.
A person with $977,600 in a brokerage account could therefore withdraw $39,104 per year to live on according to the 4% rule. What's left over would stay in the stock market to continue earning year over year. A 75-year-old with the median net worth of $254,800 in a retirement account could hypothetically withdraw $10,192 per year according to this rule, or $849.33 per month.
But most people have more than $849 in monthly expenses, even if they've paid off major expenses such as a mortgage or vehicle. And $849 doesn't begin to cover variable costs like medical bills and home repairs, let alone extras like vacations, birthday gifts, etc. That's why building your net worth early is important.
