The phrase “living off of the interest” is a popular one, but is it practical? In Ep. 311 of the Mullooly Asset Podcast last week, I chatted with Tom and Brendan about whether retirees can realistically expect to utilize a strategy where they safely live off the interest in their account and not touch the principle.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘The Weakest Link’ – Tim Mullooly – Living With Money

- While the stock market is no stranger to big up and down moves, even during the same year, the economic situation we’re in is leaving investors constantly scratching their heads. Ben breaks down what exactly is making the market so confusing this year.
ENJOY!
