62-Year-Old Needs $1.9 Million Portfolio for $95,400 Income at 5% Yield

Summary
$1.9 million invested across six income holdings would generate about $95,400 a year, or $7,950 a month, for a 62-year-old retiree under a 5% blended yield assumption.
The portfolio pairs SCHD, DGRO, JEPI, VICI, MAIN and PFF at fixed weights to cover the gap before Medicare at 65 and full Social Security eligibility five years later.
That income level can also erase ACA subsidy eligibility before Medicare, potentially adding thousands of dollars in annual health-insurance bridge costs.
Steady portfolio distributions could let a retiree delay Social Security until 70, avoiding the permanent benefit and COLA reductions that come with claiming earlier.
