Claim 1: “At 6% yield, a $1.5 million portfolio produces $90,000 per year.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The calculation ($1.5 million * 0.06 = $90,000) is a basic mathematical fact, and the web search result explicitly states this calculation: 'At 6% yield, a $1.5 million portfolio produces $90,000 per year.' While the sources are general financial calculators, the direct statement confirms the arithmetic relationship.
