I'm 63 With $1.5M. Can I Spend $10K a Month?
You’ve saved $1.5 million. Now comes the real test.
Can it produce $10,000 a month, or will that pace drain your portfolio?
Most retirees do not get a clear answer until it is too late.
The issue is not just how much you have. It is whether your portfolio was built to pay you, not just grow.
That difference can determine whether your money lasts decades or starts breaking down early.
Sequence of returns, taxes on withdrawals, healthcare costs, and whether the 4% rule still applies all play a role.
Fiduciary advisors created a breakdown showing what drives sustainable income and why the same $1.5M can produce very different outcomes.
If you have $1M or more invested, do not guess.
In this issue: One more hot one before the break, the 158th and Parallel Road project update, and relief arrives tomorrow.

Weather
Today holds hot, partly sunny with a high near 97 and heat index values up to 105, so keep the same precautions from earlier this week: water, shade, and a close eye on anyone outside for long stretches. A chance of evening storms moves in tonight, then Sunday brings the real change, a high near 88 with better rain chances through the afternoon to finally knock the heat back.

158th and Parallel Road Project Still Underway
The city's 158th Street and Parallel Road Improvement Project remains active. It is a road reconstruction and Metrogreen improvement project in that corridor. We were not able to confirm this week's exact closure schedule from the city's alert page at publish time, so if you drive that stretch regularly, check the project page on the city site or call City Hall before you go.
Quick Details
Project: 158th Street and Parallel Road reconstruction

Relief Arrives Tomorrow
Sunday brings the break this week has been waiting for: a high near 88 with better storm chances moving through in the afternoon. Not exactly cool, but a real step down from the mid-to-upper 90s we have had all week.
