Hypothetically, say you are a 26-year-old male in North America, working at a high-stress, high-pay (but unfulfilling) job. If you came across an unexpected windfall of $300,000 USD, would you:

A) Pretend nothing happened, keep working at the high pay/stress job and just let the money grow by adding to it. Maybe retire a few years earlier than normal, but no change to lifestyle.

B) NEET it up. Move to a LCOL place and just live off the interest (around $12,000 USD a year with a safe withdrawal weight of 4%). Pursue low cost hobbies/interests/entrepreneurship/sports/volunteering whatever.

C) Do a combination of A) and B). Take a part time barista-esque job for 10-15 hours a week that is low-stress to pay some of the bills, letting the windfall compound over time.

Thoughts /biz/? What would you do?

All of the above. Save it, get a less stressful job, maybe in a lower col area, but not just 15 hrs/wk.

Invest it in a diverse but focused portfolio and continue working. Just because it’s a lot of money right now doesn’t mean you can live on it indefinitely.

20% in value/dividend equities

less than 1% of the population in the new world owned slaves
of that 1%, 45% were jews

jews ran the transatlantic slave trade, and bought slaves from arabs and africans

the likelyhood of a "white" american having a slave owning ancestor is about 1 in 10000

on the contrary, it is far more likely that white americans had indentured servant or conscript ancestors from ireland, oppressed by brits(in b4 >irish >white)

Don't tell a god damn person. Spend $3000-10000 on what you want. Make sure you have the taxes put aside for it.

In order: Buy a reliable car for cash, pay ALL your debt and never go into debt again, get a mortgage if you don't have one, put 6 months of living expenses into savings account, pay off mortgage early, then put it all in VTSAX.

Continue wagecucking until you have $1mil+ in VTSAX, then live lean on 4% of your portfolio a year and do whatever you want. If you want a family get that shit to $2mil.

Feeling like gambling and under 30? Fuck all of that boomer shit, all in Bitcoin, don't touch it until you break a million, eta 1-5 years.

why are you even asking for a source? we both know you are going to settle on whatever the fuck you want to believe, scraped from various 1st page google search results, after you recoil in horror (per your indoctrination setting) when presented with information that isn't from socially acceptable sources

just live your life and don't worry about it

Keep your job and keep saving. Who the fuck could live off 300k other than a basement dweller?

>> No.14909655

300k is simply not enough to live on unless you want to dip into the principle.
you could buy some preferred shares and get at least a 5% yield on it. or buy some dividend stocks/etfs or do both.

C. Invest most of the money in an index fund. Put about $30K of it into Chainlink. Move to a cheap town, rent a comfy room for $3-500 per month, and get a chill part time bartending or bookstore job that covers rent and utilities. Once Link hits $100 you can sell half, pay taxes, and move that to the index fund. That should take care of you for life as far as upper middle class NEET lifestyle. If Link hits astronomical numbers you'll be rich.

I'm getting about twice that much in a windfall and doing the same thing except I'll already be able to live fully off the index fund until Link moons. I might get a comfy side gig but I'm a musician and fiction writer so it's not like I can't stay busy without a job.
