I think a NW of $2 mm or an income of $400,000 is "rich" in the sense that you can live a normal, nice life and never really worry about money.

NW of $5 mm or income of $1 mm you're rich in that you can live a luxurious life and not worry about money.

NW of $15 mm or income of $3 mm is what you need to start spending money stupidly.

$30M NW to have a nice house in a desirable location, afford upkeep on the house, send 3-4 kids to good private schools, pay for college for all of them, take nice vacations, and pay for catastrophic health events if they occur. Less than that and you're still stressing about income to pay for all of it.

I'm going to say $10 million. My current net worth is about $2.5M, and I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water. I'd need at least $10M before I felt like I could splurge on luxuries rather than stressing about bills every month.

LJL at being able to afford multiple houses and an expensive collector car at $10M. A net worth of $10M will generate passive income of about $500k per year in a 60/40 or comparable portfolio. Once you factor in taxes, that's barely enough to afford a house in a high COL area, much less two. I feel like $10M is the minimum to be able to afford a decent house in a high COL area and be able to take a couple vacations per year without sacrificing your future.

$500k per year is about $250k after taxes. Let's call it $20k per month to keep the math easy. Mortgage lenders usually don't want you to spend more than 28% of your income on housing. Usually the absolute most that they will approve is 40%. That means you have about $8,000 per month for housing. If you try to buy a million dollar home, your PITI will run close to $8,000 monthly if you are in a state with normal property taxes. And you won't get a very good house for a million in most HCOL areas. So, $10M might make you rich in Iowa, but it's not very rich for cities where people actually want to live.

The point is that a $10M net worth translates into about $500k of passive income annually. It's not enough to quite wagecucking if you live in a HCOL area.

Trump shld keep furking shit up maybe I can get to 2m within a year.

But anyway, u goys will never get it. U can control ur expenses, u dont have to life in shithole USa, u can live nice almost anywhere nowadays even in furking Kenya I saw a five star huge grocery store better than any shit ive ever seen in US. In Nepal I have a $27 airbnb that is absolutely 180, brand new and feels lux

So its not just NW, its becoming location independent but the jews dont want u to do that, and u are good goys so continuepaying ur joo mortgage and taxes so israel has the iron dome. GOOD GOYS

These are relative terms. The average guy on the street has 300 dollars in his account. The average 40 year old has negative net worth.

If you have 3m invested plus a paid off house you are only working for lifestyle, not for need.

"3M invested plus a paid off house" is a lot different than "3M"

Yeah, I'm expecting to be at about $2.5 to $3 million when I shut it down (I don't include 401k or house).

The “inheritance tax” kicks in at like $15m. If a Janitor invested 100k in the s&p500 in 1980 and reinvested dividends he’d have Iike $15m now. So I think $15m is the number.
