When you think about retiring, how do you come up with how much you think you’ll need? For me I use the 4% rule with a little bit of extra fat. Curious if others do the same.

So wanna run something by you all. Looking at insurance plans. There are 4 plans that allow an HSA. 3 of the 4 are identical.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
