His 401(k) is expected to generate $2,000 per month for life. Tom estimates he will receive $1,500 per month in Social Security benefits, and he also has $300,000 in a savings account. Tom’s registered representative discussed some options based on his current portfolio, Withdraw $500 per month, which could potentially last for his lifetime or Withdraw $1,000 per month, which could potentially last to age 100. Tom wishes to withdraw $1,500 per month, so his registered representative estimates at today’s interest rates, such withdrawals will exhaust his savings by age 85.
