    6% interest in 10million is 600k plenty to live on unless you have multiple houses, personal cruise ships or private jets.

        Historical average of the stock market, who the fucking knows now. I get shit because I’m not saving at the moment.

      A safe withdrawal rate on funds invested is usually 3-4%, not 6%.

      Not that $300k isn’t more than sufficient for a high quality lifestyle. Your point is more than valid.

      I’m not sure you’re trying to say that I did, but I didn’t mean that 10 million was the minimum needed to say a person is rich.

      I was saying my standard for rich was in the neighborhood of 10 million, compared to 1 million. If you have 1 million, your 6% would be 60k, but you don’t get interest on your house where you’re living, so if you purchased a house in today’s market that might be 250k, and now you’re down to 45k. Certainly not a salary where you can live in luxury.

      About $2million is enough for a trust fund one can live relatively comfortably on. $10million and you can live in excess indefinitely.
