A CONVERSATION WITH LINC

YOU
Could we retire at 55 and keep traveling?
LINC
You have $1.4M invested and spend about $6,000/month. Keep saving $36,000/year until retirement?
YOU
Yes. Add $12,000/year for travel—and compare retiring at 57.
LINC
I’d keep the travel budget and target 57. At 55, your $84,000/year plan ran out in 65 of 685 historical tests. At 57, none ran out.
But 55 isn’t off the table: without the extra $12,000 for travel, all 685 tests lasted to 95. The real choice is two years of work versus $1,000 a month for travel.
