Talk:Life insurance

Any discussion, or questions? Lee

Administrative: I put a link to your Lee E. Marshall user page in the Reference section. It looks like this: Lee E. Marshall. This is your chance to say who you are and promote yourself, especially if you have a web site or blog. One example is User:Dan Kohn, another is User:Sewall. The link appears red because it doesn't exist yet. Once you enter text and save the page, it will turn blue (and blue everywhere the link exists). I put a placeholder in the Talk:Bogleheads' Guide to Retirement Planning page for Chapter 14 which links back to the Life Insurance page.

Further wiki administriva: When editing a page, click on the 2nd box from the right, just above the edit box. It will insert a cryptic looking --~, which is your signature with a time date stamp. That's how everyone knows who made the comment and when. Hit "Show preview" to see the results.

Question: I'm confused on your income shortage. The first method seems to be theoretical - no one lives for an infinite amount of time (unless there are situations where this assumption can apply?). The fixed period appears to be alluding to a Safe Withdrawal Rate(?). This table makes sense to me:

If table borders look better, change border="0" to border="1" in the 1st line of table (or someone else can change it). --LadyGeek 17:17, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
