re: Retirement investment options and expected return

How much do you need to live on each year with your SS income included? I have a mix of dividend yielding bonds, stocks (oil and shipping primarily), REITs, BDCs, and ETFs (so I'm diversified). I now really like Ishares high yield yearly maturing ETFs like IBHE, IBHD, etc. They are high yield at around 7% and low risk, you get your money back when they mature so you can "ladder" it for income yearly. You should also have a portion in growth like SMH, SOXX, etc. All investments together it yields an average of 6.84% dividend.
