can you live out the remainder of your days on $120k per year? minus taxes if some of the funds are in traditional IRA or 401k. if so you've got a shot

Depends on how much money you spend. And are you eliminating all non-investment income? Not even a chill public sector jerb for benefits? Seems realistic if you're a thrifty bachelor with no plans to ever get married or have kids. LJL if you're married with kids

From 20-29 I'm 99% sure I ate the same three meals for 90%+ of that time

Every single morning I'd make 6 eggs w veggies tossed in and throw it in a burrito

For lunch I'd have rice beans veggies and a variation of beef

For dinner I'd eat the same thing unless I was going on a tinder date or something

For the lunch/dinner I was making these in huge batches then freezing and thawing them as needed

I actually miss that but u can't do shit like that with a wife and kids

I still do the burrito thing to this day btw. Just wake up, throw it all in a pan on low and its done by the time I'm ready to go.

I was doing a bunch of steroids from 25-30 and working out hard almost daily

Probably bad no clue. I've never been fat in my life exect once when I did gomad for four months at 35. But I was more strong fat looking rather than stay puff looking and I lost all of the excess fat in like six months doing an ec stack the first two months

Why not get the subsidies? If you're retired, you can get the marketplace plans dirt cheap. Presumably you can control your investments so that your income gives you the max subsidy possible.

To be fair,

CR, $15 million is basically the minimum for a decent retirement in 2026 and that's only workable if you live a lower-middle-class lifestyle in a flyover state (better not be trying to raise kids on that either) and have a fully paid off house and at least two recent model fully paid off cars to your name.

I'm retired early and you need at least $77,000,000 to retire anymore. Even a gorgeous ladyboy in Pattaya charges $20,000 an hour for zer's services. You cannot live anywhere on just $3m, its simply not possible unless you want to be homeless
