$500,000 at retirement invested and drawing 10% (not hard to find that) will produce $50,000 a year in interest alone. Can you live on that when everything is paid for? I can. But maybe you want to live on $60k instead, only reducing your principle amount by $10k a year. And dont plan on SS. If its still there fine but it may not be.
Please let us know where to find that 10% in a safe investment.
I'd never trust my retirement plans to another person. How on Earth could you find someone whose priorities and motivations are the same as yours? How would you ever trust them to enrich you and not themselves? The best planner you'll ever hire is yourself, but it does take some studying. That's my $.02.
