When people say they can withdraw 4% of their brokerage account in retirement, are they just selling down 4% of stock per year or no longer reinvesting the dividends and keep it’s cash? I ask because lots of people like VOO but their dividend is less than 2%. You’d have to sell 4% of the balance every year for cash flow.
