Hello, I’m an economics researcher looking into Ryan’s Roadmap. I like the simplified format of your critique of Ryan’s Roadmap idea of purchasing an annuity starting at age 67, the one in “The Problem with…” But I am seeking information on how you calculated the $200,000 minimum necessary to get an annuity equal ti 150% of poverty. Also the calculations that results in the amounts of $16,350 and $40,000 per year for 40 or 41 years. (I’m guessing you used some sort of annuity calculator with assumptions about earnings rates or invested funds in the PSA’s and interest rate return for the $200k annuity purchase price.)
I’ve looked at the CBO and SSA analyses but don’t fing there the kind of simplified, common sense format you have used. So I’d greatly appreciate any links, etc. you couyld provide. Robert Cogan, Ph.D.
