Income Over Wealth

The three crossover points where compounding takes over your portfolio, and the moves to make after each.

Show Notes

There are actually three crossovers worth knowing about. The first happens when portfolio growth exceeds your contributions. The second when it exceeds your earned income. The third, the original 1992 Vicki Robin definition, when income from your assets covers your monthly expenses. That last one is the only crossover that survives a flat market year.

  • Where each of the three crossovers actually sits in dollars (and the rough 20x rule of thumb)
  • Why the original crossover point got quietly redefined between 1992 and 2016
  • The four moves to make once you cross over, especially the RMD trap that hits at 73
