.08 on your 1.2 million will yield
96000 a year or $8000 per month
you want to live on 80% of 64000 = 51200
or 4266.67
and you are getting 2500 per month from SC
so all you need from you nest-egg is $1766.67 per month
The problem is that you are not likely to get 8% these days.
You are trying to decide if you have enough money to retire. You are expecting $2,500 a month from Social Security. You have $1.2 million in your retirement savings, and you only want to use the earnings to live on, which is at an 8% annual rate. You are currently making $64,000 a year and plan to live on 80% of that amount. Do you have enough to retire based on these numbers?
