Enough money for the next 30 years? - Hi Guys, I'm an Aussie that departed Australia a few years ago to live overseas. First my bio: \-Age is in the mid-50s \-Live in a cheap country outside of Australia \-Liquid assets of USD 650,000 cash in a brokerage account currently earning 4.5% interest \-I'm not working nor do I have any other type of income \-I believe I will **not** be entitled to an Age Pension in Australia the future \-My monthly living costs **are less than** USD 2000 (USD 24000 a year) \-My Aussie Super account has only about $A20,000 \-I also have an emergency 6 month's worth of cash which is funding me currently So my question is; do I have enough money to cover my living costs for the next 30 years? Assuming of course I actually live that long. I plan to continue living in the cheap country I've been living in. I'm thinking about using my USD cash to buy dividend stocks that will give me a 5% return (USD 650000 x 5% = USD 32500) which is a good amount above my living expenses...any left over money I would use to buy more stocks. What possible flaws or risks can you see with such a plan? Any comments or advice are welcome. Thanks. Ausfinance

Enough money for the next 30 years? - Hi Guys,

I'm an Aussie that departed Australia a few years ago to live overseas.

First my bio:

\-Age is in the mid-50s

\-Live in a cheap country outside of Australia

\-Liquid assets of USD 650,000 cash in a brokerage account currently earning 4.5% interest

\-I'm not working nor do I have any other type of income

\-I believe I will **not** be entitled to an Age Pension in Australia the future

\-My monthly living costs **are less than** USD 2000 (USD 24000 a year)

\-My Aussie Super account has only about $A20,000

\-I also have an emergency 6 month's worth of cash which is funding me currently

So my question is; do I have enough money to cover my living costs for the next 30 years? Assuming of course I actually live that long. I plan to continue living in the cheap country I've been living in.

I'm thinking about using my USD cash to buy dividend stocks that will give me a 5% return (USD 650000 x 5% = USD 32500) which is a good amount above my living expenses...any left over money I would use to buy more stocks.

What possible flaws or risks can you see with such a plan? Any comments or advice are welcome. Thanks.

Looks like we're going through something, but who would have thought with all these tarrifs, inflation and trade wars going on

Where does this end up long term with small stocks suffering white giant caps are taking all the coin?
