Investing - Theory, News & General • SOR happens, still retire?

Suppose worst case scenario happens right before retirement. You have a bucket to fight SORR but your overall 25x spending portfolio is now something like 20x. Can you still retire? Do you just hope the market has time to rebound to save your equities while you spend down your safe assets and hope that your plan works? If your bucket/tent/ladder covers > 5 years I think you would be good. Or do you postpone until your numbers are back to 25x? You could work more years and sock away $’s in safe assets to cover more drawdown. You could retire and reduce your spending (no fun in early retirement). Or???
