If you have 250,000 cash , can you live off it for twenty years?

If you live like a homeless bum, then yes you most certainly could.

No ...
In twenty years with this rapid change in economy, and the effect of inflation and the increase in the prices .

In few starting years i will find you searching for a work , or trying to find a way to make those 250 k follow the market before they are gone !

Do the math, figure 250/20 is 12.5K a year, but then you have to figure that you will be making some return on that 250K potentially - though you could lose money if it's invested. Further you have to calculate inflation in there and rise in consumer prices.

If you plan on living off the returns, that may be more feasible, but if you're not reinvesting, then your assets drop anyway from inflation. I think the solution is to use half and reinvest the half, and supplement it with work.

Sure. Or 20 seconds, if you are a fool.

If you make wise short-term and long-term investment choices and stick to a strict budget then you technically might be able to. You would need to live somewhere with very cheap housing.


OLD Is Gold
Yes, if you invest most of it and get a regular return ( monthly ) , you may live in it for ever.

There are strategies that would help you stretch that money out considerably, but it really depends on how much you need to live from year to year. Let's say you could get by on 25K a year (a low number-probably would be more than this). You could set 100k aside in a money market, earn a little bit of interest, and slowly withdraw the funds over four years. The rest of the money could be invested in the market, in an attempt to get further growth. After four years, you have withdrawn the 100K in cash, now you have to take money from your investments to live on, then invest the rest in an attempt to make up the amount you withdrew. This is called an anchor strategy. Unfortunately, the small amount of money involved makes it unlikely that you could live off of this unless you had NO other bills.

Lets say you buy a stock like Evergreen Advantage Fund (EAD). It pays 12.5 cents per share every month. $250,000 / Share Price which is 13.96. That gives you 17,908 shares. Multiply by 12.5 cents per month and each month you get a check for $2,238.5. Plus a end of the year dividend of $3044.36

It all adds up to $29,900 a year on dividend payments alone. You put an automatic sell on your stock so if the price falls you don't lose your $250,000 and if you can afford to live off of less than 29 thousand then you save the extra money, reinvest it, and you make more money every year.

If you only spend $12,500.00 per year, then yes. I hope you already own a house, and keep up good maintenance on your car... No more entertainment... just the basics... Sure, try it... Let me know how it goes! : )

Depends on two factors:
- Your rate of growth of the money?
- your rate of spending the money?

you would have to work and still have some income, but that would certainly help out with retirement, if invested correctly.
