If you’ve been a good saver for most of your life, you might find yourself in a position at retirement where you want to try to live off the interest the money can make you rather than tapping into your nest egg.
It’s a great idea and would go a long way toward protecting your money, but is it a realistic goal? In today’s episode, Lee is going to tell you why living off the interest in retirement probably won’t work.
