 Message 28686843
 
 My goal was to be able to withdraw $1000 a month after taxes when I was eligible in 2014. I figure our tax rate will be 15%.
 After that I wanted to be able to withdraw 5% more from income each year
 
 Income needs to be: $16,915 and growing 5% a year in 2018.
 
 Jan. 2013 it is time for stage two. Stocks with expected over 5% dividend increases. Hence my list, many stocks
 with yields I would not consider before.
 
 At this point income taking a hit in the short term will not matter. The end justifies the means.
 I'd like to end the year above the 2018 goal of $16,915, and keep it there, but we'll see.
