The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So I used the tool Adrian mentioned at testfol.io: Portfolio Backtester for ETFs and Asset Allocation to backtest a $60,000 fixed annual withdrawal (not inflation adjusted) from a 100% Berkshire portfolio.

After 10 years (7/1/2015 - 7/1/2025) withdrew $600,000 end with $2,268,557.67.

After 20 years (7/1/2005 - 7/1/2025) withdrew $1,200,000 end with $3,863,737.32.

After 30 years (7/1/1995 - 7/1/2025) withdrew $1,800,000 end with $9,637,405.03.

I guess that makes sense. You're more likely to end up with way more money in the end.
