1.8% seems  ridiculously low. 4% rule was only meant for 30 year retirement, so if you plan to retire early you will need to be more conservative. But most people would consider 3% to 3 1/2% safe enough. 
Color me shocked that an investment brokerage firm is against people using simple methods and people staying aggressively invested. It breaks their historical recommendations of how to retire. We’re building a split in the generation of people who are FIREing and people who are dead broke.
4% rule doesn’t factor inflation FYI.
There’s overlap. Trinity is historical actuals and you run out in 30yrs. The 4% as a perpetuity is just basic algebra and can assume you only ever touch growth. I don’t put much value on past market performance So don’t look to Trinity so much as think about actual expenses. Trinity is a back validation and I don’t think it’s as relevant in today’s markets.
I’m planning 3% but also looking at FatFIRE so my number is high to start with.
My goal is ~$100k and $3M right at the edge on your chart between FIRE and FatFIRE but definitely plan on a bigger egg nest!
