$2M Retirement.
« on: January 20, 2010, 02:38:56 PM »

Could you retire with $2M ?

How would you do it?

How could you stretch $2M for the next 35-40 years and live comfortable?

Would you retire, semi retire or continue to work?

Thanks.

Retirement...

-Whaaaaa.....?

What I do now feels so much like a hobby, I don't know if I could retire.

I have the feeling that I have more experience in my little finger than you do in your whole body about audio electronics..

I wouldn't retire.  Just take more vacations.  Longer vacations.  

And I'd only do work that I'd enjoy.  I'd also volunteer a lot more to help those who are less fortunate.

I'd be confident I could easily have that $2M last.  I have two family members in the finance investment business with an amazing track record on returns.

$2M today is not near as much as it used to be.

if you could find a bank that would give you a 5% interest rate, you'd be earning 100k a year just in interest.

Good luck with that these days.

I got an ING offer the other day trying to lure me with a WHOPPING 1.25%...

There is a very good rate right now with tax-free bonds, which when compared to savings CDs comes out to an interest rate of 7%.

But 2 mill no longer makes you a millionaire.  I figure you need at least 10 mill to make you that.

true, however banks will up your rate when you put in large sums of money. i get the same ING offers. im guessing that you, like me, do not have 2 mil to stick in their bank. when you walk into a bank and inquire about what they can do for you with that much money, you don't get the same thing everyone else gets.

Or you could find a portfolio manager with an excellent track record.  In a reasonable economy 5% is no problem.

There is no such thing as a money "manager".

You would do as well getting a book from the library.

To everyone who insists that no amount of money -however enormous- can make you happy, I beg the following:

...just give me a chance to prove myself wrong!

Money can't buy you happiness.
But poverty is even less likely too.
