Question
Dear Financial Adviser,
My spouse and I are each 62 and hope to retire in three years. After retirement we will receive $7,600 per month after taxes from our
employers' pension plans and $1,600 per month after taxes from Social Security. Unfortunately our monthly living expenses are
$15,100. Our social obligations preclude further economies.
We have $1,010,000 invested in a high-grade, tax-free municipal-bond mutual fund. The return on the fund is 4.0% per year. We plan to
make annual withdrawals from the mutual fund to cover the difference between our pension and Social Security income and our living
expenses.
Sincerely,
Luxury Challenged
