I'm sure that this has been discussed before, but as the economy changes, it's probably worth revisiting.
For many of us, one of the main answers to the "How much money do I need to be able to retire" question is dependent on the annual percentage of return one's portfolio yields. Obviously, it takes a lot less money to be accumulated if one can count on a 5% return after tax, than if that yield is only 2%.
I would be very interested to know how much people here are actually getting on their portfolio (regardless of one's AA).
If anyone feels it's too personal, please answer this question: "What annual percentage of return can one reasonably count on for retirement, with a generally conservative portfolio?"
