  • Severe/morbid obesity is a BMI of 40+, rather than 30 for obese. I’ve been at the low end of that briefly and started getting out of breath doing things like going to my car, so I immediately decided to drop weight. Bar things like severe depression or significant medical issues, I don’t see how people are able to maintain that kind of weight when it has such an obvious direct impact on quality of life.

    Curious if the survey also included children, where the rates tend to be lower.








  • Usually 4%/x25 has been considered the rule-of-thumb (and that’s based on a study that considered dying broke okay; not based on capital preservation). x20 would usually be considered fairly aggressive (although that depends if you are including other things like SS benefits if you are in the US).

    Given the super-high CAPE ratio currently, even 4% would be be aggressive if you want capital preservation. Something like 3%/x33 would be more geared towards that.
