The $1 Million Perpetual Income Portfolio-4% plan

[soccerluvof4]

We talk about the 4% plan quite a bit so here is just another view on it. Good read and I am not suggesting anything here other than just wanting to share.

ugh... I'm going to need someone smarter than I am at finance to explain this... I see him suggesting to invest $1 million on a roller coaster, does it seem like he is trying to time the market or is it just me with his red/green arrows?

Now, I might be willing to try it if he somehow gave me the $1 million... otherwise, I'm not too sure I'm in it for the that kind of ride

That is a guy who wants managing his finances to be a full time job.  I would argue he isn't anywhere near diversified enough (i.e. Apple, Walmart, and Conoco phillps are 15% of his portfolio. 20% is sitting in 5 reits) and the balance (7% international seems really low. Especially when half of it is stuck in 1 stock). I wonder how often he will update this imaginary  portfolio if it tanks?

I agree. I will watch for his updates to see how he pats himself on the back or defends his failure.
