Ready For Retirement How Much Can I Spend In Retirement with a $2 Million Portfolio?
A retirement story that challenges everything you thought you knew about what’s possible in your golden years.
Meet Michael and Lisa: a couple in their early sixties with $2 million saved who are worried about running out of money too soon. Their initial plan looked bleak, but three simple adjustments reshaped their retirement outlook without working longer or cutting back on their lifestyle dreams.
The shift came from questioning assumptions. Instead of projecting first-year expenses forever, they recognized that travel-heavy budgets don’t last into their 80s and 90s. Pair that insight with a portfolio tailored to their situation, not arbitrary rules, and a smart Roth conversion strategy, and their success probability jumped from 32% to 74%.
The real takeaway isn’t just the numbers. These strategies are accessible to anyone. Retirement planning works best when expenses evolve with time, portfolios reflect personal circumstances, and taxes are managed proactively.
Your retirement might be closer than you think. Let's explore how the right adjustments can turn uncertainty into confidence.
