Currently I have $650K invested in a intermediate term muni fund with Vanguard. It gives off about $1410/month.
I just did a SPIA quote using USAA calculator and it says that same amount would provide $2740/month.
I’m getting myself a little confused. I know the SPIA would terminate on my death and the money is gone at that point. But still, I’m kinda wondering if this money would be better off purchasing a SPIA than in the muni fund. Eliminating bond interest rate risk is another plus for the SPIA I guess.
Can anyone smarter than me help clarify thoughts on pros/cons with this?
Thank you.
