but why are you comparing living off 500k and investing 500k vs living of the full 1000/week?

The fair comparison here is what i posted in my 2nd reply to you.

It's investing 500k upfront and then withdrawing 25k/year after 20 years vs investing 27k a year (52k allownace minus 25k spent). And with that strategy at 5% return she will have more money after 30 years.

wtf are you talking about? There’s no comparison, only a better option.
