I'm Retiring 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/month, or will that pace drain your portfolio? Most retirees don't find out until withdrawals have started.
Running out of money isn't usually about spending too much. It's about spending in the wrong order. A market drop in year one hits a $1.5M portfolio differently than the same drop in year fifteen, even if the withdrawal rate never changes.
That's the part a savings number can't tell you. Only the order can…
Sequence of returns, withdrawal taxes, healthcare costs, and the 4% rule all play a role.
An expert advisor can break down what actually drives $10,000/month in sustainable income, and why the same $1.5M can produce very different outcomes.
If you have $1M+ invested, don't guess. See how long your money will last.

A 5K With a Pretty Local Cause
There’s a 5K happening in Dublin Saturday morning, but the organization behind it might be the more interesting part of the story.
Alicia’s Closet is a Dublin-based nonprofit that helps families impacted by foster care. Its free store on Dublin Industrial Lane provides everything from clothing and shoes to diapers, coats and baby supplies at no cost to foster and kinship families, reunified families and former foster youth.
The organization was started by a local foster/adoptive family after they saw firsthand just how quickly those needs can add up. And this Saturday, they’re holding their second annual Alicia’s Closet 5K at the Dublin Community Recreation Center to help pay for that work.
The family-friendly run/walk starts at 9 a.m. and includes a kids fun run, with proceeds going directly back to programs supporting local children and families affected by foster care. There’s even a virtual option this year if running around Dublin Saturday morning isn’t in the cards.

Why You’ll See People Painting Around Dublin Saturday
If you see people set up around Dublin painting buildings, streets and whatever else catches their eye Saturday, there’s a reason.
It’s the 23rd Annual Historic Dublin Paint Out, and the idea is pretty simple: artists head out around Dublin, find something they want to paint and create the whole thing right there. No painting from a photograph later.
They have until 3 p.m. to finish and bring their work back to the Dublin library to be judged. And then comes the part we hadn’t heard of before: the “wet sale.”
It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. The paintings they made that morning go up for sale that afternoon, potentially while the paint is still drying. So you could walk past someone painting a Dublin street in the morning and buy that exact painting a few hours later.
The Paint Out starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, with the sale happening that afternoon outside the Dublin library at 75 N. High Street.

A Dublin Man Lost $20,000 to This Scam
Here’s one worth knowing about: a Dublin man was recently convinced to wire $20,000 to scammers pretending to be the FBI.
According to 10TV, he first received a call claiming his credit card had been used to buy thousands of dollars worth of weapons. From there, he was told to download a secure app and began communicating with people posing as FBI agents.
And this wasn’t just one suspicious phone call. The scammers sent him official-looking documents, required him to check in several times a day and told him he could face federal prison if he discussed the supposed investigation with anyone. When it came time to wire the $20,000, they even coached him on what to tell his bank about why he needed the money.
He told 10TV that looking back, the warning signs seem obvious. But at the time, he was scared enough that he went along with it.
The real FBI says there’s one very easy thing to remember: they will not call you and demand money or threaten to arrest you if you don’t pay. And if someone claiming to be an FBI agent calls, you’re perfectly entitled to hang up and independently verify who they are.
He’s sharing what happened because he hopes somebody else recognizes the scam before sending the money. Considering he lost $20,000 right here in Dublin, this one seems worth passing along.
