When I have saved and invested around 500k in euros, this will generate about 20k euros per year. My mortgage will be paid as well, so it will be enough to live

When I have saved and invested around 500k in euros, this will generate about 20k euros per year. My mortgage will be paid as well, so it will be enough to live on. I'll be 55 by then.
- onion2k 9y agoYou've forgotten about inflation.
- fjsolwmv 9y ago4% real gains includes inflation
- onion2k 9y agoHere in the UK inflation was 18% in 1980. It's been over 10% several times since then. 4% assumes things will carry on as they have been for the past couple of decades. There's no reason to believe that.
- deanmoriarty 9y agoBut if you don't hold too much cash/fixed income securities and actually hold equity investments (e.g. real estate, stocks), then why would inflation be a concern? All those investments should easily keep up with inflation by their very nature, or am I wrong?
