Qyld pays 11%
i have a perference for bonds, and fixed rate account over stocks. If I buy stocks I have to pay all these trading fees where as if I buy bonds I don't have to pay fees. I recently invested 30000USD into a fixed rate account in Cambodia which yield 10% interest annually for the next 5 years and I plan to buy Russian treasuries which are yielding 15%. My retirement plan is to invest money into Russian , Cambodian and Asian assets until I have reached 500,000USD . Then I want to invest this into Russian treasuries so that I can generate passive income from that. I am also planning to get a second citizenship likely in Cambodia so I can start buying farmland so I can grow commodities such as Cocoa, coffee, and others. My girlfriend who is Khmer also owns land so we intend to build pens for pigs, chickens, and other animals so that we can earn from that after we are married. I recently bought a house in Cambodia which I predict will be worth 100,000USD in a few years time.

3% yield……I'm getting 5% in just a simple bond fund…
There is a third option. When I retired, I rolled my 401K into an immediate joint annuity with a life insurance company. Our guaranteed yield for life at our joint age is 7.15%, which we now receive as a monthly income. Completely immune from market fluctuations, and requires no management to maintain the amount of disbursement. It’s not for everyone, but for us it made sense. I ran multiple disbursement scenarios using actual historical performance of the stock market and it generally showed that the longer we lived the greater the probability that we would run out of money, with a 7.15% disbursement. The worst forecasts showed us running out of money in 11 years. The best forecasts showed us never running out of money, but 60% of the forecasts showed us running out of money when we reached our 90s. If the insurance company goes bankrupt, all the other companies have to pay us due to the existing reciprocal laws. I was an agent and adjuster for 46 1/2 years before I retired, so I was quite familiar with this option to receive a monthly lifetime income. Also, my wife is completely ignorant of anything in the stock market and I know enough to be a little dangerous, so for us this was the best option. Also, an immediate annuity can be purchased anytime, by anyone. Obviously, the older you are, the better the rate of return.
