reply

How old are you? This is an important consideration.

reply

Interesting... may I ask why?

reply

Because where are in life will determine what advice I will give.

reply

Well, I am in my forties....

reply

Ok, which country (more important than you would think).

reply

Germany

reply

Invade Poland !

What is your current occupation?

reply

What is your shoe size ?

reply

Your mother's maiden name?

reply

Marry someone rich, and so obnoxious that nobody else will have them.

reply

Get into their will and then kill them?

reply

But you would have to be a Svengali to get into someone's will.

reply

I'd probably have to be to get a millionaire to marry me. Although to be honest I'm much more of a Trilby.

reply

"Get into their will and then kill them?"

Easier to just divorce and take half?

reply

I was really just trying to see what Otter was planning. The "so obnoxious" part made me curious. I would think that obnoxious millionaires would have decent lawyers that might prevent a 50/50 split of assets.

reply

perfectly attainable. depends on your age of course.

but if you make a decent, slightly upper middle class salary - say 70-80k/yr, and are frugal and invest in a fairly vanilla way, you can surely retire with that amount and then some.

just don't do much. don't buy a car. walk everywhere. brown-bag lunches. live in a small apartment well below your means. generally avoid restaurants.

(you may want to avoid marriage and children as well. those are complicating factors).

if you do all that, you should be able to save and invest 50-60% of your take home pay. do that for a few decades and you're set.

a movie lover like you that thinks your advice was sound & probably means your well off

reply

Thanks, but I didn’t follow all of my own advice πŸ˜•. No regrets. Money isn’t everything.

It is if you haven't got it.

Yes it is.

Hey Taz. I could be a ferocious 40 year old babe but then again I could be a 400 pound guy lounging in my parent’s basement. Maybe I’m a mixture of both. The mystery of Who lives on...

reply

400 pounder for sure, you just lost all mystery for me
