We have looked at the cruising kitty scenario very closely to see if we can afford to quit our jobs and go.
Our projections are based upon the movement of buying GICS, Bonds, and Dividend paying blue chip stocks. The dividend has to pay at least 4% for the tax benefit. The overall annual income will be based upon 6%, and inflation targeted at 2%. So, for every $100k we have put away we would receive $6,000 not adjusting for inflation. We have no debts, own our house, cars, and cottage. The only problem is purchasing the boat, owning it outright, and doing a retro fit. Budget for the boat is $125,000.
If we can receive investment income, payable monthly, I'm going to budget for $3,000 for our living expenses.
The only problem we have is quitting our jobs. We are high wage earners and letting go of that income is the most difficult part.
