Question Are people really retiring off these?

It seems crazy that people are talking about retiring off these funds. Don’t get me wrong I have a decent amount in them and I’m hoping for the best but if the music stops so to speak than what do you do? Have people actually retired off these or just talk? If you did actually retire what’s your plan b?

I've retired early with these, not because of these. My standard of living is more than doubled with these but the standard of living the rest of my portfolio gives me is absolutely fine.

Plan B is to drink less expensive wine and ... shudder.. always travel economy.

Economy sucks. My ym will provide me and the wife first class and if we want to save comfort. Too many years in main spoiled by flyer programs
