    16 is the number, I guess, government uses to calculate asserts required to generate income for retirement, e.g. for $A1.6mil can produce 100k income for retirement purpose .
    What about if I want to retire early, say 55 years old, can I still use 16 for calculation or I should use larger number?
    your thoughts?
