as my husband and my retirement plan stumbles ever forward i thought id ask ya'll a Q? we figure we'd need 36k/year income , after taxes and inflation (assuming 3% inflation?), to live on (in 4-5 years), or about 3k/month, $100/day. rite now all our assets are tied up in mutual funds (all stocks) and real estate. both of which arent doing too great but we're "buy and holders". when the time comes, in 4-5 years neither of us will be old enuf for SS so we're not counting on that. but we plan to sell our houses and move all our money into something pretty damn safe that can produce our 36k/year income and not work at all, just travel and chill (possibly in a cheaper country!). so, my Q is whatdaya think we should put our money in, and how much would we need to have in there to generate this kind of income?
