Savings Goal

Our family's long-term savings goal is the following:

Our portfolio generates a passive income in 20 years time equivalent to about 73 000 dollars per year which covers our our annual living costs.

 The goal is based on the following of assumptions:
  •  The passive income we want to achieve in 20 years time is at about 73 000 dollars annually (the amount is adjusted for inflation with 2% per year). 
  •  Our family will save a monthly sum of about 2 000 dollars, that will be adjusted with 2% yearly (Roughly the amount our wages will increase yearly).
  •  In the beging of 2014, we had a stock portfolio worth approximately 37 000 dollars with a " yield of cost" of 4.58% .
  • I estimate the brokerage cost associated with buying to about 0,7%
  • Annual fees related to our savings account are estimated to 2.5% per year and the passive income is reduced with this amount.
  •  Dividends and new savings are invested in stocks with a dividend yield and a approximated dividend growth, according to the table below.
