If you're only planning to live for a year, then all you truly need saved is 130k. Would be a huge shift in your lifestyle if a Medical Miracle added another 29 years to your life though.

So, 3.25M * .04 = 130k.

In Practice, rather than a hard and fast rule, better way to budget things is to evaluate how your savings did over the past year and spend a bit more or ratchet things down a bit.
Year by year
Oh I see, you want to keep your savings in your home vault, or under a mattress, or some other place that it can't make any returns.

I see why you are such a big fan of the VB plan now.
