$10m post tax would make it easy to stop working for life. I’d be fatFIRE’d at that point.
$2m would make me consider taking a break for a couple years and narrowing in on finding the right opportunities. I almost had that last year but then market crash took all of that away. Add on divorce and you’re looking at a wonderful year.
At this point - I have less than $100k in savings+investments that I can touch. It’s going to be a lot less by end of year because I’m quitting my job and trying to reset everything. Post-divorce things have been extremely bad. I need a new partner and SV is not accommodating to that for a single straight man. I’ll have to move to somewhere I don’t want to in order to find a new partner.
It’s been a bad 30-something years to only have this much left over. Putting my ex-wife through college and working at risky startups for my 20’s probably didn’t help. I mean - it almost worked.
- altdataseller 4y agoSorry about the divorce. Friend of mine is in similar situation. Worked hard and had enough to retire but after the divorce, now has to resume working.
