Dryer sheet wannabe
Hi. This is a great forum - I'm glad to have found it! I'd like to get some opinions on my financial situation. I believe I have enough to last me through the years, but I always second guess myself on this. I'm single, kids are grown and self-supporting, mortgage is paid off, no debt. I have been on disability retirement for a number of years.
My financial situation is as follows:
Income:
$2575/month net - NYS disability pension - 1% - 3% cola on first $18,000
$1733/month net - NYS workers comp - lifetime benefit - no cola
$2325/month net - SSD - cola
$1550/month net - private disability insurance until age 65 - no cola
Total monthly income: $8,183 (Monthly income at age 65 is reduced to $6,533.)
Monthly expenses: $5,000
Savings:
$200,000 - Traditional IRA
$20,000 - Emergency Fund
Projected savings at age 65:
$300,000 (This will come from monthly NYS disability check put in
savings account from now until age of 65.)
Rental Property:
$125,000 - Plan to sell this when it's paid off (13 years) and put money in retirement accounts. $100,000 left on mortgage. Interest rate is 3.5%.
Land:
$65,000 - This is paid off and is currently for sale. Proceeds will go in taxable retirement account.
House Value:
$180,000 - paid off
Total assets: $490,000
I have medical coverage through SSD and NYS, so that is not a concern for me.
One of my main concerns is inflation. I have tried to run firecalc, but I can't seem to get through it for the final result.
Any opinions/suggestions/reassurances are welcome! Thank you.
