$50k is life-changing money for most people
>>61970060Hell $10k could drastically improve the lives of most average folks. Fix the car, settle some debt, not have to worry about the heating or grocery bills for the next few months.
>>61970060i don't want any more than that. I can do all of the things on my bucket list with that money.
$500k is hell. I just sit here in an eternally crabbing market unable to retire off of it. Not enough to take money out knowing it would hurt the principal. Still stuck at a job. All it would take is a little 100% to be retireable but who knows when that will happen.
500k is retirement money>dump it all in covered-call ETFs>easily yield 10% to 20%>easily rake 50k to 100k before taxes>move somewhere rural>live like a king>commute 2 hours each way to the city to bang chicks since you're a NEET anyway and don't care about time

>>61970111>a little 100%you will lose everything you delusional gambler kek
>>61970085That's not a drastic change.
>>61970209That's absolutely a drastic change. Do you understand the level of stress failing to break even month after month puts on you?
>>61970060Literally $5,000 is life-changing amounts of money. I lift paycheck to paycheck. Everything that is going to automatic deductions/ the 6% I'm putting in my 401k is all getting spent on housing, travel, food, utilities. My life's a f****** nightmare and I wish I could stop screaming as hard as I do every f****** day
