From ATX Portfolio Advisors:

Can I Retire?

Back in June, TexAgs poster Up-n-aTm asked the question, "Can I Retire?" on the Business & Investing board.
His post (and the responses it generated) inspired my most recent Accountable Update Blog entry, where I analyzed a hypothetical client in a similar situation and identified some common mistakes that can be made when planning for retirement.

Here are the "client's" details....
  • 58-year-old couple
  • Have $1 million in cash and an IRA with $1.1 million in Vanguard Target Retirement 2030 fund.
  • 15-year $130,000 home equity loan at 2.3% interest.
  • Social Security at age 67 will be about $7k per month.
  • Needs $75,000/yr. for basic living expenses.
  • Need $25,000/yr. for health insurance.

What do YOU think, can they retire? You can see my answer at Can I Retire? 4 Mistakes to Avoid.
