How can he stretch his $1.3-million nest egg?Dear Liz: I have a brother-in-law who has a very hard time finding employment because he has frequent seizures. He is 59 and needs about $40,000 a year for living expenses, including high health insurance premiums because of his condition. Thanks to a recent inheritance and some good investing when he was younger, he has about $1.3 million in assets. However, he has little chance for further meaningful employment, so he needs to live off of his investments. What is the best way for him to stretch his assets? Would a fixed annuity be a wise thing for him to invest in? Would a mix of an annuity and regular investments be a better bet? Or should he look at just a mix of fixed income and equity investments?
