Experts on retirement living talk about the 4% rule, which means, either earn 4% a year to avoid eating into savings or don't spend more than 4% when interest and savings combined are calculated. Either way, that is a tall order, considering the level of interest rates. Think about how one's lifestyle would be improved with a 6% yield on the dividend portfolio.
