Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | $250,000 isn't enough for investing and living without work. You'd need around $10,000,000 for low-risk investing and comfortablyliving without working. However, you can call it investment as well - buy the whole collection and then try to send the best pieces for profit .Mr Creosote: Maybe we can strike a deal here... ----- [b]NetDanzr[/b]<br /> [i]-The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog-[/i] |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | I personally spend around $250 per month because of where I live . However, this is why I recommend $10,000,000:Put one half into a money market fund - highly liquid and virtually risk-free. Currently, it earns about 1%. That's $50,000 per year. Put $4,000,000 into treasury notes. Current yield around 5% will give you another $200,000. There's a risk, however, of capital loss. Put the rest into medium-risk high-yield equity, which yields roughly 10%, due to depressed markets. That's an additional $100,000, but you risk capital loss or even default. Together, you'll have $350,000 per year. That puts you into the highest tax bracket - 39%. You'll end up with $213,500 per year, or roughly $18,000 per month. Arguably, this is a lot of money. However, if you want to have a family, if will assure you only comfortable living, nothing extravagant... ----- [b]NetDanzr[/b]<br /> [i]-The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog-[/i] |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 560 | Yes well seeing as I live alone (and will probably die alone too  ) I wouldn't need that much cash and 250.000 dollars would be quite enough to live of here in belgium...----- "In theory, if people bred as fast as ants, and with an equal indifference for it's surrounding species, earth would have 5 million human inhabitants at the turn of the century.
