Can you live off 2 million dollars?

You can retire comfortably on only two million dollars for sure. All you need to do is have your investments match inflation each year. With inflation running at roughly 2% a year, 2% should be your annual retirement withdrawal rate if you want to keep most of your principal. Saving for retirement is addicting.
