I'd love to develop a big enough income stream from dividends that I can enjoy a long and posh retirement without dipping into the capital, but that seems pretty unlikely to happen. More likely, the income stream that I develop will lessen the withdrawals required, allowing me to enjoy a comfortable retirement with a moderately sized nest egg.
For me its the safety of never having to dip into my principal, thus(hopefully) it will never run out.
