I don't really spend money on anything as it is. Food and rent would be it, and there's still left for the occasional surprise spendings or weed or smth.
>>675824144
2 mil. That should take care of me and my 5 siblings for life. Maybe I would keep my job but only work one week a month.

Investments off about 800k would be bare minimum, maybe 950k to 100k would be good enough to live off of the dividends.
I believe it is about 6-8% return on investments.

im guessing you are a kid since it seems like you have no concept of money or how much things cost.
300,000 wouldnt last more than 10-15 years at the most if you are living a very modest life.

it is incredible how many retards there are in this thread with no concept of how much living costs are.
About 20 dollars would do me good.
>>675824144
300,000 is only 20 years worth of rent in my area for a 2 bedroom house. It's not enough to buy a 2 bedroom 1 bath house in my state. And that is only rent. No utilities, food, fuel, vehicle to put the fuel in, insurance (car and health) or disposable income for non essentials.
>>675829609
what state do you live in because that is probably wrong.
Im in NJ which is notorious for some of the highest costs to own and I have a great 3 bed 2 bath for less than 300,000

No. You just aren't willing to cope and live in a shit hole in the middle of nowhere. Learn to live with less.

you dont seem to understand how much food costs. Or utilities. Or rent/taxes. Maybe you can survive for around that much... maybe. However since the question is how much to live "comfortably", you are just wrong.
try asking mommy and daddy how much they spend to feed you and maybe you will start to get an idea of what living costs are.

Actually, not sure of the property prices in eastern Washington... it's a very different area than western washington. most of us honestly think of it as a different state entirely
I'd feel comfortable with a cool 10Mil. Never had much money, so I can't imagine I could do with 1-5Mil just because it would be low enough that I'd have to be smart with it. 10Mil seems just about okay enough to hire an accountant or something to run my life from now on and just live.

Aray,, ko. Hahaha the aunties! So true.

>>675824144
We are in a period of long term low real interest rates. Look at gilts paying 0.5% and an overall return on a balanced portfolio not exceeding 2%. So, taking into consideration inflation, you would generate something in the region of 15K a year of spendable money from an investment fund of 1 million bucks.
Fucking terrifying, ain't it?

>>675828711
Don't think so dude. I've a great job and don't plan on retiring, and wife does too. More time with family, and that's living comfortably. Which is what OP asked.

I'm not that guy, I'm a chemist and make just say a decent salary and live off of about 18k a year, girlfriend no kids and studio apartment, 18k is living necessities and about 5k for "fun stuff" like televisions and games and what not and 2k for vacation every year. The rest gets banked. My girlfriend is a chef though and brings home food most of the time and I raise pigs and chickens and have a huge garden so a lot of our food is next to free

Comfy is not having to be a wage slave. I could deal with having 28k for the next 70 years. I could put a roof over my head and feed those most important to me. Sorry I'm not a greedy nigger that would want more than that. I make 23k a year atm kicked out at 18 and support two of my 5 siblings. I could squeeze the other two in here with just a little more. Last one is wheelchair disabled and would get benefits for life. Sorry I didn't ask for another million in this thread fantasy to satisfy your subjective standards for quality living. One of them is just moving back from India and used to living on next to nothing because she couldn't hold a job. You have no idea how comfortable you are in the states.

2 million bucks would generate around 30K a year in income - so if you got it now and could simply stash it until you retired, then OK. If that was your pension pot at retirement, you're not looking at a lot of money to spend.
>>675831942
sure you can... i wouldnt exactly call it living comfortably tho. especially if you plan on say having a family.
8.1 mil if I wanted to continue to live exactly how I do right now till 90.

Yea, that's ended well sooo masny times
You'd be better off giving it to a junked up hooker and asking her to invest it

Stashing until retirement is what I meant. My bad. Didn't clarify that. Still gotta work. But not kill yourself doing it.

would certainly take the pressure off knowing you had that in the background. Hardly anyone has any real idea of how much they need to save and the government is going to be able to afford to provide much in the way of pensions by 2050. There's going to be a huge amount of old age poverty.
>>675832112

Has nothing to do with greedy. I'm not a wage slave. I make about 100k a year, live on around 62 and invest / save the rest. So when we want to go on vacation we can. Or when we get a 4K tax bill we don't cry. Never wonder how or what I'll eat and my kid wants for nothing. Mind you she isn't spoiled she's just happy

Still have a grand every month for food. None of us have cars. Perfectly fine walking to the store. We got legs. Might be a problem in 30 years. Pretty sure by then a robot would delivar. All of us are pretty much pacified by a screen.

hory shet I live in a nj and a solid studio maybe a 1br apartment costs that much. Is that shit like in the middle of the woods? Like do I have to drive 30 minutes away to get groceries? Damn I'm pretty jelly for those rent prices though.
>>675833159
And I think another guy mentioned here you could get 30k a year from the interest on 2mil. That would give me 2.5k per month.
Sure I have to live in a shitty part of the country. But I wouldn't be a wage slave anymore. I could live with that kind of existence. Especially if I get to keep my principal. In 30 years that will probably be more than enough to have my brain extracted and permanently plugged into VR.

It would be 50 a week. Per person. Don't get to eat out really. But if you learn to cook and make your own meals. Personally. I eat a good amount of soylent. Go thru about 30$ a week of it. Have a warm meal in the evening.
Are we forgetting that I wouldn't have to be a wage cuck here? Complete freedom. If I wanted to work one week a month I'd be getting myself something nice every now and again. Eat out a little. Just take life slow and enjoy a long quiet ride to my inevitable death.

Sure I could ask for another million. But would it make me happier? I'm not convinced. Happiness comes from yourself. All I want is peace from other people and their problems so I can be with those that I care about. We would all be free to make more with zero pressure. All I'd ask for is release from labor just to live and breathe and eat. Deep down I want to think that a more humbled request would make it more likely to befall me. But sure enough based gods couldn't give two shits. But thanks for taking up 17 minutes of my nap. It's been nice.

Holy fuck you people, of course I know about this stuff, you think anyone wants to spend an entire day figuring this out? My post was in response to all these idiots who can't even do basic math
enough to purchase a house in an area near to services, pay the property tax for the next 50 years, pay your utilities for 50 years, and purchase solar panels, water capture, and drill a well, and 10 acres for raising livestock and vegetables. then, 50 years of health insurance, and savings of 1,000,000, with half in growth investments. then, a second and third property to rent out for income. so maybe 2 to 4 million

Did you let a todler do the math?
With minimal investments (or even a 2% + interest rate, which should be easy when you have 5 million to negotiate with) 5-6 million would be enough to have more than 80k a year for a long long loooooong loooooooooooooooooooooooong time..
>>675841929
is it entitled if its your own money you work for? sure my parents paid for housing and gave me a few hundret a month until i was done with university but thats not exactly uncommon around here... my job simply happens to pay more than twice that. you get used to not giving a fuck about what stuff costs and frankly i dont want to if i can help it

Careful of lifestyle creep dude, there are people making twice your income who live paycheck to paycheck
ive noticed none of the faggotrons are taking inflation into account.
(let alone changes in health and family).
I also must add that the trouble with high-low cost places is that you get what you pay for. Sure, you can move to Zimbabwe and rent a decent place for 300$, plus all the servants and hookers you want, but- your environment would suit it's shitty circumstances. Your health services, social complacency, policing, social security, infrastructure and all the other minutia which to us at the west seem trivial and unnoticeable but is very noticeable when absent.
Now that the third world is rising and more economic power is swept from the west it will become a debated problem in years to come...

she was just so smart, you know?
like you could tell how beautiful and complex her mind was in the way that she analyzed a dick before sucking it.
like she was doing calculus on the perfect cum shot. she could make me precum a pretty much normal amount of jizz without even cumming for real.
cosigns and tangents of my precum would drip out her nose while she sucked and jammed out to our favorite song. she knew i loved that. so she would look up at me with those big doe eyes, let the cum drip out of her nose as far as she could, and then sniffle it right back into her head. and just as the song was reaching its climax, so would i.
