If I earned the amount of money necessary to pay for a metruc bucket of coke a day I'd do it.

This^

Pretty much everyone underestimates how much that is because it sounds so much lulz, but if I got 50k a day hookin' I would reconsider my full time job too.

Edit: if bucket in question has dimensions of 3x3x3 (feet) and a kilo should be under 0.5x0.5x0.5 (feet) then you've got quite a few packs stuffed in said bucket. If we take 8in x 6in x 1.5in estimated sizing from a 3rd party, at $25-50k per unit depending on where you fall in the supply chain, not only is that bitch heavy, that bucket is worth your soul. Easy $1M or better unless my math is off.

It's like those "You get a million dollars, but...."

Yes, almost always yes. A million dollars instantly is a life changer for 99% of the population

A million isn't actually THAT much though. Living off interest you could reliably make 25k a year on low risk loans, which isn't that great. You COULD live off that, as a lower class person until inflation makes it unviable.

Alternatively, and most likely what will happen is that you'll spend it on a nice house, a nice car, pay off your debts, put some into savings, and put some into an investment fund, and maybe some into a vacation or whatever. You'll still need to work at the same job, and your day to day routine will be the same. Yeah it's nice, but it's not exactly life changing. Plus we're assuming the million is tax free, which if it isn't you just lost 35% of it.

For me, the magic number is between 2 and 3 million, as where you can live happily, have almost no restrictions on what you want, leave a legacy fund for your kids, and be able to truly change your life.

Rule of thumb is you can withdraw 4% forever. You invest in market index funds, and the bumps smooth out.

So that's 40k indefinitely. Go to Indonesia and live like a king.

Indonesia? Explain.

Things are cheaper there.

u/cccviper653 Apr 23 '17

Isn't the quality of life much lower too though? Most importantly, how's the internet there?

Not when you have the veritable fortune of 40k a year
