Abstract
This paper advances the literature on the sustainability of retirement income by making consumption a stochastic variable instead of a constant real value, as previous papers have done. The paper continues to make the rate of return and date of death stochastic variables, as Milevsky and Robinson (2000, 2005) do. The sustainability of retirement income depends on the nature of the lifestyle that the retiree chooses. The difference in shortfall probabilities or risk of ruin between the variable cases and the fixed consumption case is significant, and so the adviser needs to take this into account. The difference in shortfall probabilities between making consumption a nonconstant but deterministic amount, and making it also stochastic, is not as important, because it does not reduce risk enough to make more aggressive consumption rates secure. Finally, making consumption correlated with the rate of return, which implies the family adjusts consumption as its wealth changes, reduces shortfall probabilities to a moderate extent. In general, an initial consumption of more than 4% of initial wealth is not sustainable for any likely set of conditions. In the very best case, an initial consumption rate of 6% is sustainable, but we think that case will fit very few people.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
