£150k for income

Did mention a while ago about my ideas for investing for income and was pointed out it maybe wasn`t the best bet. I am only concerned with an annual income. Assuming my wife and I have filled our s and s isas I am wondering the best route.

Have allowed for a cash float to fall back on. Current joint income is £24k a year in pensions. At 66 I have a lowish risk to investing.

    As you have a rainy day fund, and I am assuming that you are debt free, why the hell do you need to get an income from 150K.
    Point of saving is to spend it at some point..._

    Well, silly to spend it if I don`t want to. I am thinking that I might do a few holidays from the income and also I want to give some of that income away . Just nice to keep the capital to help out when we have gone.

    Is that £24k before or after tax?

    Anyway with £150k invested in bonds and equities you should be able to take 4% as income I.e £6k

    That looks like a very expensive global tracker fund to me.

    Save yourself a bundle on ongoing charges and buy a global etf
