For $1000 per month, you'd need to get a $12000 annual dividend yield, which would need about $120000 invested. And of course, factoring in taxes, these numbers would need to be 35--40% higher, give or take a few variables. And for the record, none of the above constitutes any personal investment advice.
Bonds, stocks, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, are four basic types of investment options.
In fact, at the end of the five years, if you invest $1,000 per month you would have $83,156.62 in your investment account, according to the SIP calculator (assuming a yearly rate of return of 11.97% and quarterly compounding).
According to the $1,000 per month rule, retirees can receive $1,000 per month if they withdraw 5% annually for every $240,000 they have set aside. For example, if you aim to take out $2,000 per month, you'll need to set aside $480,000.
You can retire comfortably on $3,000 a month in retirement income by choosing to retire in a place with a cost of living that matches your financial resources. Housing cost is the key factor since it's both the largest component of retiree budgets and the household cost that varies most according to geography.
This budgeting rule states that you should allocate 50 percent of your monthly income for essentials (such as housing, groceries and gas), 30 percent for wants and 20 percent for savings.
Treasurys are generally considered "risk-free" since the federal government guarantees them and has never (yet) defaulted. These government bonds are often best for investors seeking a safe haven for their money, particularly during volatile market periods. They offer high liquidity due to an active secondary market.
Gold and silver are tangible assets, but are frequently traded in the form of futures or options, which are financial derivatives.
The best investment for beginner investors may be one you're already utilizing: A workplace retirement plan, like a 401(k). Why? Because contributions are taken right out of your paycheck, which builds an investing habit. Your employer may match those contributions, which adds to your investment return.
Dividend-paying Stocks
Shares of public companies that split profits with shareholders by paying cash dividends yield between 2% and 6% a year. With that in mind, putting $250,000 into low-yielding dividend stocks or $83,333 into high-yielding shares will get you $500 a month.

For the foreseeable future, you won't find any banks that offer 7% APY on savings accounts. However, you can find some credit unions that pay 7% or more on checking accounts. Before opening an account, take a close look at the terms and conditions to determine whether you can earn the advertised rate.
CDs, high-yield savings accounts, and money market funds are the best places to keep your cash when it comes to interest rates. And Treasury bills still offer decent yields at the lowest risk.
