        Not even close to being enough unless you’re old as frick. You can live decent for 15 years off it but that’s renting an apartment, eating take out on the weekend, and working 20 hours a week.

          They seriously don’t see how 5% APY dividends on even $1,000,000 gets them $50,000 per year. That’s your living expenses. For a year. Every year. And if some emergency comes up you got $2 MILLION dollars in cash from your other $2 million.

            5% is not realistic and is eaten up by inflation THEN you also need to pay taxes on it
            you probably can rent a shed in a remote place and never do anything but i wouldn't call that living

            You're thinking as a single person living a modest life and continuing that way forever. If that's what you want that's fine but lifestyles generally scale up with income. If you buy a nice house, get married, have kids and need the things that go with it, that 50k/yr gets eaten up fast.

            Even if you DON'T CARE about inflation, you'd need at least 200k/yr for a family with 2 children.

            Less than that and your wife needs to whoring herself at corpo

          Breeders and natalist morons are essentially mindless slaves to their biology and are incapable of finding meaning or purpose in their life elsewhere, that's why they project so hard on to you that life is worthless if you don't reproduce. Notice how if they were actually content and satisfied with their lives, they wouldn't be shaming you or trying to convince you to validate their life choices.

          I think if you are a living creature and your instinct is counter to survival of the species then you are malfunctioning and your genetic pool SHOULD be erased, so it makes sense. There is not actually more to life than having children. We are specks in the infinite universe. If the entire point to us is “life” then nothing is more meaningful than contributions to survival of the species. Yes, doing things like inventing electricity are a somewhat meaningful contribution… but if every human had some insane invention and none of them had children, then it’s all for naught. The most meaningful contribution you could ever make to the species is creating and raising a well balanced human. Of course, you would probably frick it up so it’s probably better you don’t try. I just wanted to lay out an objective, inarguable truth for you. You can not say there is more to life than this. None of us would be alive without it. Life is life. Creating life is the most pure use of one’s life possible, it is the epitome of “what life is about”.

            Then what's the point of living at all? If you live for yourself and not for others, you're a net negative on the world around you at the end of the day. It's a base instinct to have a family. Your entire lineage before you had been having children for thousands of years, and that stopped with an individual who falls for anti-natalist propaganda. Wealthy groups who push anti-natalism under the guise of environmental protection, whether overt or otherwise, definitely don't have such hangups about having kids. It's beneficial for the rich to have a class of people that exist to participate in endless consumerism. Without healthy familial ties, people have no serious stake in anything. Nothing to protect and fight for. Are you going to kill another human being to secure your iPhone 20? Your 4 week trip to Tokyo? If people aren't rooted in anything and just go with the flow, they typically won't have a reason to be a threat to the powers that be. They can be made to accept any quality of life, because they don't want a better future for their children. This isn't schizoposting. Anti-natalism is an affront to nature. It's all man made garbage designed to bring forth the perfect debt slave cattle class that can be milked for labor.

      I retired on like $250k liquid in ALL the first world countries. I spent two years traveling and living it up. People don't get it but when you're invested in an asset with 300% gains every year on average, you don't need that much to cash out.

      Like imagine having $3M today. By the end of the year bitcoin will have 3-10x'd. Who the frick needs $9M-30M to retire? That's just going to create problems especially if people know about it.

    It's enough to not work and that's good enough

    Doesn't matter tbh if you have 3m or 10m

    Putting it all into stocks or whatever and withdrawing 4% a year and never working 1 second for the rest of your life is a dumb meme, nobody does this

    Just spend 10-20 hours a month researching and investing into the crypto markets at that point

    Just buy Bitcoin when everyone is caling it a dead scam and sell it when everyone calls it a new paradigm and you'll have 8 figs 4 years from now, hell buy now and sell at 150k and you'll have 6mil 1 year from now

    I'm at $6mn now.

    At $100k I thought I'd sell all at $200k I thought I'd sell everything and buy a fancy car.
    At $200k I thought I'd sell all at $500k and retire in SEA
    At $500k I didn't think much, because it went to $1mn without me even having time to process it.
    At $1mn I thought to be a guaranteed millionaire after taxes I need atleast $2mn.
    At $2mn I thought to safely retire I will need at least $5mn.
    At $5mn I thought to live a life in luxury I will need $10mn.

    Not sure I will be able to sell at $10mn.

    $150,000 a year is more than enough for retirement, even in a big city. With that amount I would retire in Spain and have enough money to maintain an East African woman.

        You mean bought up by bigger banks at the request of the government? 2008 already happened. We learned our lessons. If you fear the bank folding so much then buy an apartment and rent it out. You will get a slightly lower yield and you will have to spend some time on taking care of the property, but you get the perk of rent going up with inflation, and having the opportunity to sell the property at profit if you hold long enough.
        The bottom line $3M is retirement money anywhere on earth.

            We did learn our lessons. We might be finding new ways to screw up, but from my point of view there is a greater risk of a total collapse of the west than the chance of the government not covering the collapse of several small banks.

            Where can you go that you'll be treated like a native without being a native? Hint: nowhere. If you put in effort to learn the customs, language, culture, etc and just be an overall net positive to their society they will treat you'll be fine.

            sure, but like I said the effort put into learning their language is by far the biggest factor in how well you're treated. It's the same when these wienersuckers come to Canada/America and can barely get order food 5 years later. Why should the locals respect you if you don't respect them? Anyways my second choice would be Croatia because I was born in Bosnia and can speak the language relatively well.
