>> $1M in a high quality REIT can generate 12% dividends, which is $120K.

Are these 12% dividends normal or sustainable? Have they continued over the years? Could you name a couple of sample names/tickers?

>> A single person could easily live off half that.

True -- perhaps not half but you are forgetting taxes!

You can live off $60K pre tax as a single person even in a high cost city. I don’t spend more than $3.5K a month total right now in a normal month in SF.

Taxes are not that high at that level of income.
