IT doesn't really answer my question.

Not that it matters. I wouldn't bother running the #s because I really have no desire to retire in the near term. In a decade I may be more curious about the answer to this question.
If you can live off dividend yield from a 100% allocation to dividend paying stocks, history shows a 99.9% chance of never running out of money (and probably having more money at death than you did when you decided to retire).
