Dear Ken and Daria,
My husband recently retired at age 62 and we are planning to live off our taxable funds for a few years until his IRA kicks in. Is there a formula for figuring out how long our money will last us?

One type of investment for a retirement fund is currency trading ETFs. They are a good way to get additional diversification. This site had some good info on these funds
