I spoke the other day about rich people whingeing that they don’t have enough to retire in luxury. In today’s news there is a 67 year old man who hates his job and wants to retire. However the poor thing only has $700K saved up. This only gives him $28K a year in interest. Poor old dear still hasn’t paid off his mortgage so how will he manage on that?
How the other half live.
He ain’t living to 97, so why are we assuming a 4% withdrawal rate? His life expectancy isn’t even half that, 81 is the likely number here.
