German here. For me it's 2 million Euros, that would be easy mode. With 1 million you'd have to buy a modest, probably old home for <100k and put the rest into rental properties, stocks, dividend paying shit. You could take 100k for 3-5 years to build an online business or something, create multiple revenue streams and you're set. With 2 you could do the same on a larger scale or almost go full "let the money work".

>> No.13221879

I'm 37 so let's say I live to 87

easy mode:

50 * 60k per year = 3 mill
+ 90k to pay off my flat
never worry about working, could pay sister's mortgage and debts, give fat stack to parents.

medium mode:
1 mill to buy 8 properties at about 100k each, 90k to pay off my flat, 110k for renovations and nice things. each property brings in say 750 per month = 6k monthly till end of time.
slightly more hassle dealing with tennants but also never havce to worry about working.

hard mode:
90k to pay off my flat and 10k to buy a shiny new car would mean i need to keep working but i'd be under a lot less pressure in terms of budgetting for things.

Most people don't have a purpose and will kill themselves or become doomers. That's why you see guys like Trump, Bezos, Bill Gates, Musk ,they live to work on their life purpose. They will never retire, beacuse working towards their goal is being and feeling alive. Then you have the people that dream of being millonaries but only think about the good parts (vacation, relaxing, eating like a king, fucking whores). But let me give you a tip: those parts of being successful are not even the best ones, those are just "breaks" from the actual part that they actually enjoy.

1 million is comfy life in most wealthy countries if you're still working. You won't have to worry too much about money and if you really need to you can retire (will have to very live frugally though). Getting 70-100k/year on average from investments is a lot if you have a job too.
If you don't want to work and want to live a comfy life then I'd say $2.5MM+.
If you want to be able to blow money on dumb shit, travel a lot, eat at expensive restaurants all the time etc. then I'd say $6MM+. If you don't plan on working after you /makeit/ then you should obviously move to a country with (almost) 0% capital gains tax.

In hue land 300,000 U$ would be life changing money, in Real that becomes 1M, but after the tax rape, more or less R$ 525,000 would be left.

The extra 60k would be used to buy a used but in good condition car, do some restoration in the rentals if they need it, and at least 20k aside for a rainy day.

For me make it would be like this.

A good and safe house in a safe place, the type of house you can invite your friends and even if they bring their friends there is a place to everyone sleep. Would be sleep without stress because you know things are safe, a lovely wife that would look to me and her eyes still spark the same way decades ago when I took her virginity. I would have pets, enough pets that they wouldnt be alone, my own garden and my own growing plantation of some exotic fruits and vegetables.

I would have my own water source that isnt full of metals, estrogen and other fucked up things, my own electricity from eolic, solar and biomass sources. I would be able to pet my animals, maybe play with the dogo, after the tiger and my falcon would come to my shoulder. Then I would go to my shelter garage where I would take my Quantum Astral Traveler to travel to other places of the world to see how its going and how my intergalatic shelters are being improved.

Then I use my Quantum Aural Connector to talk to a friend, we would exchange our thoughts and learn from each other, I would be happy that his micro community is safe and stable too.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

Well you have a point, on the one hand I am happy that they will receive less, but then again I am pissed that the cost of this was:
- years of my life wasted in random countries
- hundreds of hours wasted dealing with immigration, government and tax agencies, lawyers etc
- tens of thousands wasted in living costs and lawyer fees etc
- after all is done ahmed receives less taxes but I also receive less gains even with the lower tax rate because of misc fees and costs + market fluctuations

Would not recommend

>>13233272
There is simply no way to avoid it, choices are:
A. Pay
B. Go to jail
C. Pull off some advanced scheme requiring intensive planning, multiple residencies and/or citizenships, and balls that 99% of inactive neet losers on biz are not capable of pulling off

Just talking federal

$0-36,000 --> 0% long term tax
$36,000-200,000 --> 15% long term tax
$200,000-415,000 --> 15% + 3.8% (Obamacare tax) = 18.8% long term tax
$415,000 and up --> 20% + 3.8% = 23.8% long term tax

For me it would be $500k after taxes.
That would be enough for me to not have to worry about money for myself and family ever again.

I want enough to own a permanent escort. Assuming 500/hr, 24 hours in a day equals 12k a day. 365 days in a year comes to, an annual fee of 4.38 million. Assuming a lifespan of +30 years, I would need at least $131,400,000 to make it.

im 20, 100k would be like a life kick start. i would go back to college instead of working my shitty job. 1 million would be unthinkable, you cant plan your life around "making it" in crypto. I dont get these neo boomers who want to just lie down and rot but doing it comfortably.

Genuinely made it = 20M+
Comfy = 10M
Set for life = 5M
Not panicking about money anymore = 2.5M
Solid foundation= 1M
Nice boost = 500K
Anything less and I’d rather hold to 0 = 250K
