What's your number Veeky Forums?

what exactly are you saying? intelligent people absolutely do maintain their means. niggers adjust their lifestyle when they get money and that's why they don't stay rich.

If you're in the U.S., you will die unless you're talking about having $200K while still holding a job.

The car will eventually fail and need to be replaced. Even if it doesn't, you have insurance, fuel, and general maintenance costs.

If you own the apartment, you'll have to pay property taxes on it. It's not a whole lot but it is typically 1% - 3% of the value. In your case, $700/year which will go up at a rate faster than inflation most likely.

$50K in the bank will yield $500 interest these days. $75K in investments, if you're lucky, will yield $6,000 in total return per year.

So you have $6,500/year (~$500/month for food, electricity, natural gas, phone, Internet, clothing, medical expenses) to spend and your investments in cash are no longer keeping up with inflation.

I only need about $400k. The growth and dividends on that is enough to cover my living expenses, which would allow me to focus entirely on building the products and businesses I want to build.

I need to be free before I can be free.

Good on you. There's a point where spending more money doesn't really get you anything.

Let's just say you have enough income and wealth to easily buy yourself a new S-class Mercedes Benz. There is no need to bust your ass even harder just so you can buy a Bentley when the MB is already quite nice.

After a point, spending money on such extravagant things is going to make you a target while doing nothing to really improve your enjoyment of life.

Got a 3,000 sqft home? How will one's life be better with a 10,000 sqft home?

What's your plan to make 10 million? :^)

2 million will get you 20k a year with 1% interest.

Ultimate goal wise? At least a few billion a year, post-tax.

Currently at 1.4m before tax.

400k, which is enough for an average returns of 20k a year. I make 150k a year currently, so I should have enough saved up after about 5 years.
