The transportation cost is very unrealistic for someone retired especially for a Villager. We're not commuting to a job. We spend less than half that - gas’s, insurance, maintenance.

That $1M in a simple saving account that pays 4.5 APR. will generate $45k a year alone. Add in SS and pension you may never have to touch that $1M principal.
