> But psychologically for me, due to my irrational monkey brain (I’m not actually a duck btw 😜) those two statements are not the same, and regardless of how much I think about safe withdrawal rates, I can’t imagine feeling completely secure if I’m actively selling my assets every month/quarter/year

Funny enough I too need this. My brain doesn‘t care about the general YTD being +18% or so, but about the 1.56% dividends. That‘s why I lean towards VWRL (vs FWRA), even if the performance is a tad lower. Dividends feel like my money is doing something, and I can do something with it (reinvest it).
