I'm wondering if it's possible to sustain myself solely on the interest earned from a $500,000 deposit. Could such an amount provide enough income for a comfortable living?

If you have saved $500,000, as O'Leary suggested, you would need to be cautious with your withdrawals.

To ensure financial security in retirement, it is advisable to save at least $1.3 million.

Withdrawing 4% annually from $500,000 would provide you with $20,000 per year.

This amount would allow you to withdraw 4% annually, which translates to $53,000 per year.

However, this amount may not be sufficient for a comfortable retirement lifestyle for many people.
