I did the numbers a few months ago just out of curiosity.

If you're buying TIPS (which returned 2% above CPI) and want 50 years of stipend out of your capital, you can get a 3.6% return above inflation.

As in, $1m should get you $36k/year for the next 50 years, leaving you with nothing at that point.
