I'm sorry for your loss :( And that's always the risk of a low widthrawal rate, that you're leaving money (and enjoyment of it) on the table, of course, that's your choice, and depends on where you want the money you don't use to go, be it charities or family.

The numbers have been revised a little, closer to 4.5%, and that's still super conservative (that's the amount of money you'd need to spend to survive the worst case scenario for 30 years). With 1.5 Mil in savings, you could safely withdraw $65K/year and be safe. The average of safety is closer to 7%, which means that you only need $1M to retire (yeah, with a bit more risk). Here's a really good article that explains it: https://www.fa-mag.com/news/ch... And of course, there's also there's Bergen's book "A Richer Retirement: Supercharging the 4% Rule to Spend More and Enjoy More"

But.... shift left! You're right, of course, but the latest thing management-by-cto-magazine is pitching is to have developers that do everything: testing, documentation, devops, front-end, back-end, IT, everything. Civilization was achieved by specialization, it'll be destroyed by "shift left".

It's not about kindness... They can't easily do that, even if they weren't evil(tm), I'm not a lawyer, but I imagine a lawyer would advice that assuming liability can put you in a difficult legal position for other cases as well. And the company also has a fiduciary duty to their shareholders (of which I'm one, and if you're have any US index funds, you likely are as well).

Comment I've been switching registrars recently... (Score 1) 20

I've been uses Name.com and Google Domains for years. The recent sale of Google Domains to SquareSpace incentivized me to look for alternatives. The advise I got mainly came down to Namecheap and Porkbun.

I moved some domains from Google to Namecheap and it went fairly easily except for one which was a total pain in the ass which required intervention from an online support specialist, and even then it sucked.

I moved some others to Porkbun and it was as smooth as glass. I moved the rest of my Google domains over and have started migrating my Name.com domains over there as well, due to it becoming so pricey.
