In this life, each stage has its own things to do and distances that can be calculated.
This stage's income is decreasing, relying on what was saved before.
It's not about "is the money enough," but "my income is decreasing, but my expenses will still be there for the next twenty or thirty years, and I need to rely on the stock to sustain myself."
Verification Signals (count as valid if two or more are met):
· Not calculated how many years the stock can sustain
· Income has decreased and there is no new source
· Entirely dependent on a single source
Capital Theory / Economics
In economics, this stage enters a negative savings period: income flow is decreasing and living off stock. The key is not the total assets, but how much can be safely withdrawn each year without exhausting it.
At the same time, there is also an opportunity: experience is still a scarce factor. Just that its realization method has changed from "being employed" to "direct delivery" — consulting, training, content, small businesses.
Enough to sustain until the end
Can still have income
Don't burden the children
What to look at
Stock years · Income diversity · Disposable degree
How to judge
Calculate: existing reserves ÷ annual expenses = how many years can be sustained
Health status
Stock ≥ 15 years of expenses · Have ≥ 2 income sources
Completely dependent on retirement pension — most are not enough
Think "at this age, no one wants" — it's about not being employed, not about no one wanting experience
Give all the money to the children — lose your own security
Pursue high returns — you can't afford to lose at this age
Stop creating — income will be even less
Calculate clearly: how many years the stock can sustain
Improve liquidity: leave money that can be moved at any time
Turn experience into something that can be delivered directly (consulting / content / service)
Don't rely on a single source
Remember: living off stock, but still able to create
