1That’s pretty easy. With the second option you have nothing in the bank and no option other than to sell the house or unretire. If you sell, you have to pay taxes, losing even more.

2I would rather retire with mortgage on a $100,000 house and a million dollars evenly distributed in a dozen banks. Don’t forget FDIC insurance limits!
