The 4% rule tells a 56-year-old with $900,000 and $6,000 a month in bills that he needs $1.8 million, which means 8 more years of work. This episode prices those same bills as monthly income using private mortgage notes and shows how the date he can stop working moves years sooner. It also covers what can go wrong with notes, including borrowers who stop paying and payments that never rise with inflation. No Social Security is counted anywhere in the plan.

  • Why your retirement number should come from your bills instead of your salary
