56-year-old Couple Wants a 10-year Max Income Spenddown + Lifetime Income (to delay social security)
(don’t forget to checkout the video of this case study too)
💾 be sure to save for later 💾
⭐️ Here are the details ⭐️
✅ Rick & Lori are 56
✅ They need at least $15,000/month of retirement income for life
✅ They currently have real estate income of about $4,000/month
✅ They want to liquidate $1.1M in the first 10 years
✅ They then want to switch on guaranteed, lifetime income
✅ They have a $800k long-term care that will transfer tax-free if not used
✅ They have $2.2M in total IRA’s
✅ They have $700k in cash and CD’s
✅ They will each max out social security at $4,873/month at age 70
⭐️ First 10 Years — $1.1M Investment Spend-down ⭐️
✅ They will take $12,000/month from $1.1M Investment Account
✅ This should comfortably last the first 10 years of retirement
✅ Their goal is to spend this all travelling and spoiling the grandkids while they’re still young
⭐️ Year 11 — The Lifetime Income Backstop ⭐️
✅ Immediately upon retiring they will place $1.2M into a deferred income annuity (which will offer guaranteed income growth + performance-based market growth with no risk of losing the principal)
✅ They won’t touch the income from the annuity for the first 10 years of retirement (they will just allow it to continue growing at a guaranteed rate)
✅ This provides protection from market losses plus income insurance for longevity
✅ Their plan is to “turn on” this income after exhausting their investment account
✅ This will generate a guaranteed $173,000 of income for the rest of their lives starting in the 11th year of retirement (and more if the market does well and they can hold off collecting it)!
⭐️ Social Security Income Bonus ⭐️
✅ Social Security will provide them almost $10,000/month of additional income if they delay until age 70
⭐️ Retirement Results (with Social Security + Annuity Income)⭐️
✅ $29,000/month guaranteed from age 70 on (even if they live to past age 100)
