'There's been so much ink spilled over the 4% SWR and asset allocations and all that stuff. A very simple retirement plan is 100% Berkshire and 5% withdrawal.'

Yes! Jim has provided great data revealing on average you could withdraw more than this based on BRK's consistent growth in valuation, and still keep your principal amount in Berkshire going forward. The 'lean years' where you could not withdraw 4% based on valuation were uncommon. This and WEB's example from his actual giving data and running net worth over 17 years have provided a lot of peace of mind to many of us!
