Escape Number

[zargor]

Interested in whether when calculating an “escape number” per MJ’s latest book, if anybody makes any allowance for annual inflation in their numbers?

I’d imagine that if not, you might be shooting for a number in whatever time period, only to achieve it but realise you haven’t “escaped”.

Whether or not you do, as MJ mentioned in his book, it’s very eye-opening to realise freedom comes at a cost and it may be higher than you originally thought.

(I try not to mix-up “cost” and ”value”).

I figured the factor of safety covers that (I forgot exactly what MJ called it, he said he uses 200%).

Yeah he calculates inflation in the book.
