You are right, but who in the right mind would setup retirement home in an expensive city?Charts with the amounts ignored and all deposits and withdraws removed is what we want.
What is considered descent depends on where you live $50k usd in America per year is rough, that would be twice by business clears per year here nearly and sure you can live like a king in Iraq say![]()
What i mean is the typical retirement city, not Manhattan, SF, DC or LA or any major city. I live in south florida FLL, house, cars and motorcycles are all paid for, plus no personal income tax. My burn rate is just below $4k per month which include all expenses. The average household income across USA is 52k/year as per attached. I draw $1,000 everyweek but i end up returning capital into my trading account
