Why sell a fixed amount when you do not need the money on a fixed schedule, better to take out only when needed unless you are uncomfortable having too much money in equities and want to rebalance your portfolio.
My original retirement plan was to liquidate all stocks over time in retirement, and replace them with a laddered portfolio of bonds. But, my plan was derailed by the artificially low interest rates created by the Federal Reserve. Fortunately, I am able to live very comfortably on my obscenely high Federal pension.
