You go ahead and live your own meager life. I don't need your judgmental ass to tell me how to live mine. Especially as you are telling me how wasteful my postulated $2.3M life is in the next breath after castigating some other schmuck for not waiting til $190M.
Back when I was a wage slave, $3M was my eventual target. I was on track. Then bitcoin happened.
Not pissing away millions makes someone life meager?
Nobody said anything about pissing away millions until this last post of yours.
You told me I need to re-examine my life habits due to the fact that I pointed out that going from being a wage slave to having a $2.3M cushion is a larger life change than going from $2.3M and free to $190M and free. In the abstract, at that. Specifically implying that there was something wrong with me for thinking having $2.3M might be a nice thing. Again, in the abstract.
Not only was your attack unwarranted on a personal level, but the lack of logic behind it is truly asinine. JJG just got done explaining -- yet again -- that many money managers consider a 4% annual drawdown from principal to be sustainable from typical retirement age until death. Which is a $92K annual drawdown on $2.3M. Not shabby, but neither is it anywhere near what I was making when I was a wage slave. And I ain't typical retirement age yet, so allowances need be made to extend the principal that many more years.
So just GTFO with your self-righteous assertion that I need to reorder my priorities.
