Desert Island Dilemma

Desert Island Dilemma™

Imagine You are Stranded on a Desert Island

You have plenty of food from the fruit trees, and the fish in the sea, but you were only able to save one barrel of water from your abandoned ship.

How Much Water Can You Drink Each Day?

The answer would be easy if you could answer these two critical questions:

Do you know when you will be rescued?

Do you know when it is going to rain next?

Realizing you can’t know the answer to these two questions, I ask again how much water can you drink?

The Answer Is

You drink the smallest amount of water to survive, because you must make your water last. You must make it to your rescue.

This is the Desert Island Dilemma™

Now Let's Change the Scenery

You are not on an island but at your retirement party and your barrel of water is a barrel of money. This barrel contains all the money you have saved to last the rest of your life.

How Much Money Can You Confidently Spend Each Day?

Just like before the answer would be easy if you could know the answer to the two critical questions.

How long will I live?

How will my money perform?

Realizing you can’t know the answer to these two questions, I ask again how much money can you spend each day?

The Answer Is

You will spend the least amount you can because you cannot allow yourself to run out of money in retirement.
