I think you’ve over complicated things. First. Only count liquid assets. Then create a burn down chart.
If I have 500K and earn 6% per year but withdraw 40K per year, it will last 22 years . 40K plus 30K SS(for example, 62+) gives you 70K per year. If you do not have debt or a mortgage, that’s not bad.

This makes you work optional or you could work part time, earning about 30K more per year before it affects your SS(assuming you’re not at full retirement)
