They said invested, not ‘put in a checking account and drawn down’. Even 5% returns would be 50k annually, which is already more than the median individual income. Actual return on the S&P 500 for the last 25 years has been around 8%.

We were talking about winning the lotto at work once and I said with a million dollars I would probably quit if I could earn 5% interest on it to get 50k a year. My boss was like, that’s not enough you have to think about daycare and mortgage and car payments and everything. I then reminded him that I was currently making 30k a year. He stopped talking very quickly lol.

50k us is about what I make now and I’m in the suburbs.

Invested safely that’s what I would make with 1m, with 2m I’m having the time of my life.

I could have lived off that at any age as I’m currently making the most I’ve ever made by about 6k compared to my previous job…

Bigger, swipe typing does that sometimes 🤪
