Hi Mark

I worded my previous message poorly.

I meant that it's the compound average rate that is the investment gain we can actually spend. The simple average is just a figure.

I shouldn't have used the word "real" as that implies after inflation.

Given the simple yearly average and the standard deviation, Gummy's calculator shows the difference between that simple yearly average and the compound average.
