"He could start accumulating some of his dividends in advance of his first RMD to cover the difference." Very true, although he would only get one shot. It is all a moving target, and if one is going to come up short the first year, it will likely continue, so before one gets started they would have to save back enough to cover every year of life going forward. My real point was, regardless of how one wants to do it, it will take a 3.49% yield the first year, if one doesn't want to sell or try to figure it all out ahead of time, and go up from there. I really have no idea if DVK is paying any attention to RMD as it is a demonstration portfolio. He has plenty of options to get to that first RMD without having to sell anything.
