Retiring on Five Million Dollars: Feasibility and Strategy
The source critically examines the financial feasibility of retiring with five million dollars, concluding that this sum is generally sufficient for a comfortable or even luxurious retirement, contingent upon meticulous planning. A primary focus is the 4% Rule, which suggests an initial annual withdrawal of $200,000 for a $5 million portfolio, adjusted for inflation to ensure the funds last at least 30 years, though the episode explores the limitations of this rule due to longevity risk and market volatility. Furthermore, the analysis highlights that the true sustainability of the money depends heavily on lifestyle expectations, geographic location, where cost of living and taxes vary widely, and the ever-present need to account for significant healthcare expenses and unexpected costs. The discussion concludes by stressing the importance of investment diversification, tax mitigation strategies, and psychological readiness to make this substantial sum last.
“If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”
