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.

Meme of the Day
The heat is not backing off. Today reaches 95, Wednesday climbs to 96, and Thursday holds at 95, all with mostly sunny skies. No active alert as of this afternoon, but it is worth keeping an eye on given how many days in a row this stretch is running.
🏘️ Rezoning Hearing Tomorrow Night Near 152nd and Parallel
Following yesterday's note about Basehor's quiet growth, here is a concrete example of it in motion. The Planning Commission holds a public hearing tomorrow, August 12, at 6pm at City Hall to consider a rezoning application and preliminary development plan for two properties near N 152nd Street and Parallel Road.
The request, filed under applications PRZ-005-26 and PPDP-03-26, would rezone the parcels to Planned Residential. The city encourages public input, and the hearing is open to attend in person.

🎒 2 Days to Go: First Day Reminders
Two days left before the first bell rings for most students. A quick refresher as the week closes in: the new statewide law requires phones, smartwatches, tablets, and earbuds to stay off and put away from the start of the school day through dismissal, so it is worth a family conversation before Thursday morning.
If registration, the Transportation Form, or proof of residency paperwork is still outstanding, this is the last real window to knock it out before doors open.
Quick Details
📅 First day, PK-5, 6, 9: Thursday, August 13
📅 First day, 7-8, 10-12: Friday, August 14
📱 Reminder: Devices off and away, bell to bell
☀️ Heat Holds Through the Week
Mid 90s continue right through Thursday, with mostly sunny skies each day. It is the kind of stretch where the usual precautions matter, water, shade breaks, and a little extra care for pets, kids, and anyone working outside.
Keep an eye on the forecast as the week goes, since a run this long sometimes tips into advisory territory even without much change day to day.
