It’s hard for most people to “live off the interest,” so it’s best to be open to the idea of spending from your nest egg. But in reality, you might find that your assets grow over time. This can happen without any complicated investment strategies.
Of course, the amount you spend each year is critical. So, you’ll want a way to monitor and manage your level of spending over time.
You can also look at dividend investing or annuities for retirement income investment strategies. Those approaches have pros and cons (as with any strategy), and for many, they’re not a perfect fit. But they might be the right fit for you, so it’s important to understand how they work.
We’ll cover the basics here, and you’ll have a better understanding of what to do with your savings.
This video does not cover everything (would you really want it to be any longer?), and you can get more information from this article: www.approachfp.com/income-inv.... You'll still need to do more homework, of course.

IMPORTANT:
You can lose money and/or run out of money with any strategy or investment vehicle. Insurance companies can go out of business, causing you to stop receiving income payments. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of loss. Markets might or might not recover quickly enough to keep your portfolio healthy. Triple-check everything in this video before making any decisions.

Your videos are excellent!

Nicely done. This helped pull my understanding of income and investing options/strategies into a working perspective. Liked your Monte Carlo realism - that most will adjust to avoid crashing.
