Ten Years of Cash and Stocks in Retirement Gains
A retired couple with $30 monthly income and $6,200 in savings moves from a $15,000 home sale into $10,000 in blue chip stocks yielding 4.8 to 5 percent. They borrow $11,000 against the stocks at 6 percent to buy a $130,000 house and a $512,500 college fund, with mortgage fees avoided. The example shows growth and risk, noting possible bank collateral needs and the fragility if stock dividends fall.
