Is One Million Dollars Enough to Retire On?





I believe so. Actually, I believe if you find out in the midst of your retirement that you may survive the money, you can find more than one ways to get more money. To me, I am seriously planning some semi-retirement life after getting my first million dollars.

If you wanted to be a bit more aggressive with your withdrawals and live up your retirement years, you could take out $100,000 a year for 14 years. For simplicity, these examples don't includes taxes which would decrease your lasting power, though things like social security and higher returns would increase your lasting power.
