What percent of your retirement assets can you draw out annually? This

Some people's income is like that of a civil servant or tenured professor (steady) while others are stock-like (variable), such as a salesperson or venture capitalist. Many useful graphs and tables, including re what sustainable percent of assets can be drawn down per year given your asset allocation.)
