Investing for retirement. How to make a steady income of $1000/month. I want to share what I think would be a good strategy for someone who wants to retire early, or anyone who just wants make a steady monthly income from their investments.
Let’s work with some numbers. The average retirement savings for someone 55 and above in the United states is about $185,000. Is there a way you can put this money to work such that you can get $1000/month or $12,000 per year of steady income for the rest of your life, without touching the principle?
The good news is yes you can!! But you have to do it in a smart way so as to minimize the risks. And definitely avoid some investments that are pretty much scams. I am going to show you a way you can do this and minimize risk…coming up right now!
In order to generate $1000/month from $185,000 – you have to get a return of 6.5% per year ($12,000/$185,000=6.47%)
How is such a high return of 6.5% possible when the best interest rate you can get from savings at banks is closer to 2%.
There are ways, but you have to be willing to take on additional risk. Smart risk.
When I say “risk” I don’t mean risk like gambling your money at a Casino, where you can and you will lose all your money. By “risk” I mean the risk of losing some of your principle, on paper, because it can sometimes decline in value due to market fluctuations.
You see, when you invest your money in a savings account at a bank, or money market, one of guarantees you get is that your principle of $185,000 will never go down in value.
This is called “safety” which is short for “safety of principle.” Your principle of $185,000 is safe in value. The price you pay for this safety is low returns.
In order to get a significantly higher rate of return like 6.5% instead of 2%, the compromise you have to be willing to make is to forgo this 100% safety of principle. You have to be willing to let your $185,000 fluctuate in market value
