To me, 860K is bonkers...many people would be at least rich-lite (or well off) with just 3-5 btc.

There was a time when 1k seemed bonkers (RIP Risto). Though I do concur with the sentiment.

Risto.. A Shakespearean, or perhaps even biblical tragedy of a human.





I remember him well...he came up with that SS (safe withdrawal system) that @JJG extended extensively.
I am still amazed that very bright people sometimes have severe mental diseases (he had something that was diagnosed similarly to Van Gogh's).
Maybe there is not much between genius and mental disease...witness John Nash and quite a few others.

EDIT...$71.33K now...wow.


Having good health, and especially good mental health, is invaluable. My father is bipolar, he still had a good life, but he could have had a great one. And he has a PhD. His illness also had an impact on his family of course.
