What do I do with $1 Million?

[Anonymous No.9741052]

I'm 28, I inherited some property from my family that is worth a little over $1 Million.

I hate my job, I work in a restaurant, i'm fat, balding and i'm Asian. My parents are militantly middle class thinkers that think the only way to be happy is to work a job, earn active income be asset rich but cash poor.

I want to make this $1 Million generate enough passive income from investments; I want to go into Private Banking and I plan to move to some SE Asian country (Thailand?) to live in a low-cost environment while letting my dividends reinvest itself for the years.

How feasible is this? I hate my life and I hate to work. I hate my body and I want to spend this freedom to become a healthier better me.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Do you think Private Banking is worth it? Because I don't have the experience or time to manage my own wealth and would prefer a professional to do it.

Also, waiting for 7 years is not possible for me. I don't think working another 7 years in my shit job is feasible for my health and my sanity.

Thats why I'm thinking of generating that passive income now, living off 20% of it in a cheap country then reinvesting the other 80%.

Don't listen to these autist crypto token bagholders
Couple of pre requisites though
>do you have a trust?
>what kind of "passive income" are you expecting to make?
>what country are you in or did you receive the money in?
You want your money to produce dividends but unless you are you g to just dump it all in index funds, bonds and CDs you need to determine exactly HOW you want to grow your money
You are going to need access to this money obviously for spending purposes and because you can only keep so much money in a bank account, I'd speak with an accountant who can help you keep more of your money and out of Uncle Sam's pocket
Next thing you might want to do is pay off your debt and get a credit card, and use that as your main source of money once your dividends start coming in
Put something in your retirement account and if you must live overseas I would stick to strictly cash purchases
You might think it's a lot of money and in some places it is, but you merd to understand if you are not careful, you'll see that money go up in smoke quick
As for the trust it's anonymous and only you have access to it you go see a lawyer and have him set it up for you

Private Banking is normally reserved for individuals with 5M+, they won't deny your money but after fees are deducted it won't really be much
Also if you don't have relatives in Thailand to stay with while getting your citizenship I'd just stick to staying under the radar by living in the US or wherever you are from until the process is clear
I noticed you said you hate your body or whatever so since you aren't working anymore and provided you only want to live off of 20% (about 180k a year or 12k a month which is a bit too much tbqh)
I'd stick to just getting /fit/ and go to college and get some kind of degree or pursue a hobby that you can monetize in your free time

I live in Hong Kong and I'm not an American citizen, so tax for me is not a problem since there is no capital gains or dividends tax here, the only tax we have is 15% capped on active income.

I'm an aggressive investor with a high appetite for risk, so if its not too unrealistic, I would like to have10-15% returns on my investments and generate at least $10,000 a month in passive income; $3000 of which I will use for living, while the rest will be to reinvest.

I am looking to open a private banking account and let a professional manage it for me.

I expect to have the bank take care of all my investments for me, I pocket the $3000, go live in Thailand and the rest of the income is reinvested with the bank.

The problem, I haven't a clue as to what I am doing. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing but I know with a broad brush what I want.

I'm not in the USA, I am in Hong Kong and some of the local banks here are willing to accept $1 Million.

This $1 Million is my only shot to living the life that I want and I don't want to lose my only ticket to freedom by screwing it up by attempting to invest myself.

[Anonymous No.9742786]

If you don't know what to do with $1,000,000, you're simply lazy. Go buy a small house somewhere nice, sit at home and invest in the rest. While you're waiting, focus on physical training. Don't to change how you look or you'll just fuck yourself up. Focus on changing how you feel. If you feel fine, then just accept how you look, because the truth is, aside from the first five seconds if meeting you, most people don't give a fuck how you look, they judge based off the vibes they get from you.

[Anonymous No.9742817]

With $1 million, look into either:

A.). Taking around $20k or less to start a business of some kind that can be largely scaled up and automated/outsourced or is least in a field you care about. You may also want to go to college if there’s a career path you’re truly interested in that requires the degree.

B.). Diversity the fuck out of the rest into about 3-5 different income streams and investments. Pne can be a fairly passive income business like a car wash, vending machine company, or a laundromat. One good one would be to learn how to lend money smartly and carefully via P2P lending sites like Lending Tree, where some loans go bust but overall you can get a steady 7% annual return if you’re careful. If you do that with $300k, that’s $21k a year, which is a good Income in a cheap country. Put another $300k into low risk stuff like bonds and mutual funds. You may also want to consider buying an apartment complex and hiring a management company to maintain it so the income becomes nearly 100% passive and the property holds value, too. With maybe 10% you can go chase riskier investments like crypto for moonshots. What you want is to maintain that wealth so you can keep making it work for you throughout your life. Don’t squander your chance.

[Anonymous No.9742861]

>>9741284
I worked in private banking. They are not professional and rarely beat the market while charging you high fees.

10-15% means you will have to invest in highly speculative things. You can get 10% on real estate in Europe (renting) in some areas by using leverage but since you have no income thats out of the question.

Realistically only pe/vc can generate you that type of return but the downside is that most pe/vc funds draw in portions (capital calls) and dont have exits in the first couple of years so its hardly reliable income.

To be fair your expectations of a solid 10k passive income per month on 1M dollars is far from realistic.

[Anonymous No.9742864]

>>9742753

Sit down and write out with a broad brush what you want, then try to make some plans for how to get there. You can use this money in small chunks to bankroll your attempts to get there and feel things out. $1 million in Hong Kong can pay for a lot of attempts and adventures. Just don’t go all in one one thing with $1 million like a dumbass unless you’re damn sure it’s what you really want and you’ll be ok with losing everything if it fails.

Fuck, with that kind of money you can put it in the bank, keep $50k on hand, and just travel around the world to “find yourself” like a hipster/boomer for a year or so while you figure shit or and still have almost a million dollars left. Cheers, anon!

And to add: fact that you want to earn 10k a month by doing nothing at all with your life kind of makes me doubt you'll be able to hand that money.

To keep it simple for you: buy a modest place for yourself and a few appartments. Get like 2-3k of net rental income per month. With no mortgage its a fine way of life and you can even save up a little.

I had a feeling that's too much to ask for. I guess thats just wishful thinking on my part. What is a realistic return that I can expect with 1M?

>>9742889

> 10k a month by doing nothing at all with your life

I am thinking of starting my own business in Japan, my girlfriends family have their own Import/Export business and her mother is interested in me helping out her family business. It's not that I am planning to spend my days scratching my bum, but I view it as freeing up my time towards building something that can contribute more to society.

>buy a modest place for yourself and a few appartments

I live in Hong Kong, it's the most expensive real estate market in the world. So, real estate is out of the question for me. I have the option of buying real estate in Canada, but I don't want to open a can of worms in regards of filing taxes.

hey banker
suggesting a 60/40 split and a 4% withdrawal rate for life for someone in their 20s is not very good advice, as the risk of running out is pretty big

OP, stock valuations are high right now so I would myself not go all in right now (I'm ovr 90% cash atm)
but after some correction, a 90/10 100/0 or maybe 80/20 split should be pretty good, actually feel free to leave 1-5% for any "other" investments you like(crypto, gold, p2p lending, teak, etc etc)

then, withdraw no more than 3.5-3.75% from your portfolio if you want to maximize the odds of capital retention through a 60 year period.

yeah, I will simplify it
the "traditional" retirement/passive income portfolio consists of 2 asset classes, stocks and bonds
normally people talk about 60/40 and 4%, meaning your portfolio is 60% stocks and 40% bonds and you withdraw 4% of your total portfolio per year.
this is based on studies many years ago e.g trinity study, and it is flawed for someone in their 20s in 2018
instead I suggested something like 90/10 --> for example 90% some total stock market etf, 10% bonds and 3.5% withdrawal rate

DESU it is impossible to explain this to someone who knows nothing about it in one biz post, but I suggest you check out this for example
https://earlyretirementnow.com/2016/12/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-safe-withdrawal-rates-part-1-intro/
be sure you understand this if you decide to invest on your own, or do as you say and get a private banker or a financial advisor, but be sure to compare these because their fees and performance can vary a lot

>>9741284

Quit your job, invest in yourself, reap the rewards.

If you're unfit as fuck, get meals prepared & hire a PT, if you suck with women, hire a coach, etc. Give yourself a time limit like a year, if you have 1m, you don't need to invest it, you don't need to do ANYTHING, just let it sit in a bank, fix your shit, if a good trade or investment comes to you (let the trade come to you is the advice that comes to mind), otherwise, tend to your garden and be patient.

I made a quarter mil when Trump won the election, I had enough money to quit & not give a fuck about money, instead I continued on with my job and it's the single biggest regret of my life. Had I just quit and continued trading (instead of working and trying to do both, in the process making mistakes that cost literally hundreds of thousands of dollars) I would be a millionaire by now. Guess what happened? Despite losing huge sums of cash I quit my job anyway, and now it's just going to take a little while longer.

What's the worst thing that happens? You quit your job, you somehow lose all your money, you end up fatter & more miserable...then you're just back to working a job anyway. You have bigger issues in your life right now than money anon, fix that shit first. If your job is making you miserable, that is your body telling you to get the fuck out of it.

This is what you do:
>Liquidate the property.
>Pay off all debts.
>Use 200k to buy and fix a foreclosed house in an area with decent real estate growth.
>Live in that house, sell it when the property matures.
>Pull 100k, keep it in a savings account. Do not touch it. This is your SHTF money.
>Take the remainder and invest with a portfolio management firm. You want one that works for a percentage of the return. Talk to their clients, ask how they do and what percentage return they get on average. A good manager should make you at least 10 percent after everything.
>Reinvest as much as possible each year.

You do this, and you should be starting out making at least 50k a year sitting on your ass doing nothing. This will increase every year. Don't move to SE Asia, it won't make you happier. Use some of your money to get a gym membership and hire a PT.
