I'm 63 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 a month, or will that pace drain your portfolio?
Most retirees do not get a clear answer until it is too late.
The issue is not just how much you have. It is whether your portfolio was built to pay you, not just grow.
That difference can determine whether your money lasts decades or starts breaking down early.
Sequence of returns, taxes on withdrawals, healthcare costs, and whether the 4% rule still applies all play a role.
Fiduciary advisors created a breakdown showing what drives sustainable income and why the same $1.5M can produce very different outcomes.
If you have $1M or more invested, do not guess.

Dublin Jerome Is a Top 25 Team in the Country
Every August, coaches from around the country vote on which high school soccer teams they think are worth watching before a single fall game gets played. This year, one of the names on that list is ours.
Dublin Jerome opens the season ranked No. 12 nationally in United Soccer Coaches' preseason poll — not a state ranking, the actual country. That's the payoff for last fall, when Jerome won its first-ever state title, beating a St. Ignatius team that had won six in a row before them. St. Ignatius is the only other Ohio team that even made this list, sitting all the way down at No. 25.
The season hasn't kicked off yet, and some of last year's team has graduated, so there's plenty of time for this ranking to move up or down. But it's a nice thing to know heading into fall: the rest of the country is watching our team the way we already do.
Full disclosure: I'll be watching Jerome soccer closely this fall for my own reasons too — my son plays on the JV squad. Different team, same program, and it's hard not to feel a little bit of that pride rub off.

A Wellness Navigator with Deep Dublin Roots
As we mentioned before, Dublin has a free service where you can call, email, or just walk in at the Rec Center and talk to someone who'll point you toward the right help — a doctor, food assistance, insurance questions, whatever it is. It's called the Community Wellness Navigator.
What we didn't know until recently is that the organization behind it, Syntero, actually got its start right here in Dublin. They were founded by Dublin residents back in the 1970s, before Dublin was even a city — it was still a village at the time. More than 50 years later, they're the ones providing the Navigator, plus a mental health clinician embedded directly with Dublin Police and Washington Township Fire, who gets referrals whenever officers or firefighters respond to a call and think a family could use extra support.
Link Ahead, the city's podcast, just did a full episode digging into how all of this actually works — the Navigator, the police partnership, even a separate program specifically for older adults and caregivers. Worth a listen here.

Is Dublin Becoming a Bank Magnet?
There's a pattern forming with financial companies and Dublin lately. First it was Pathways Financial Credit Union, moving its headquarters here last year. Then Benefit Bank Distributors signed a deal not long after. Now Northwest Bank wants in too.
The proposal goes before City Council this Monday, with a vote expected Aug. 24. The plan: relocate 120 employees to a new Dublin office, with hopes of growing that to 300 by 2034. If it passes, Dublin would pay the company $50,000 once it signs a lease of at least 15 years, plus up to $460,000 more over five years if the new jobs bring in the payroll tax revenue the city's projecting.
Nothing's locked in yet — Council still has to weigh in. We'll let you know what happens.

A Note From Nick
You Asked How to Help. Here’s How.
A few of you have reached out asking how you can support Dublin Daily — and honestly, it means a lot just to hear that. Here's what actually helps.
The single biggest thing: forward this to a neighbor, a friend, or anyone who loves Dublin and might not know we exist yet. Word of mouth is everything for a local newsletter. Or just share dublinohiodaily.com next time Dublin comes up in conversation.
If you ever have a tip — a local business worth spotlighting, an event coming up, something happening in your neighborhood — hit reply and tell us. That's the fuel that keeps this going.
We also have sponsors who make Dublin Daily free. If something catches your eye, click their links — it makes a real difference.
Thanks for being here. Dublin is a better place to live when we're all looking out for each other — and that's really what all this is about.
