I'm pulling 6% for 3 reasons:

1. I'm 56 and will enjoy the money more now than when I'm less active.
2. My investment money is gravy- my retirement is my main source of income.
3. I was not raised to amass someone's inheritance. There will be plenty of money / assets for the kids without my side stash.
That will work ok for you unless the gravy boat breaks, which it has been known to do.
