Let's say your house is paid off in full, and you have money set aside for ALL your bills. Your property taxes, insurance, internet, electric, etc... is covered. And you have $5k set aside as an emergency fund.

You are left with about $3k a month to spend on food and disposable income, as everything else is covered. That'll be about $100 per day for you to spend.

Will you be happy with this much money? That $100 has to cover your food and to keep you entertained.

I'm a pretty basic bitch so I could probably be happy with the same stipulations but like $1500 a month for food/whatever instead.

So yes, OP. I'd be happy with it.

Yes, assuming it is untaxed, that is ~15% less then I currently make. That's $2000 a month, not $3000. I can jive with it.

"Your property taxes, insurance, internet, electric, etc... is covered."

How exactly does that work? That is not how retirement works at all, there is no way to know what your base level living expenses will be.

Also $5k is a laughable emergency fund, like twice that should be a bare minimum.

The problem is you can't make a good sex doll with a hundred one-dollar bills. Maybe a sex arse, but not a sturdy one.

You can convert it to other currencies if you're not xenophobic though.

It's covered by your retirement. Let's say you get $5000 a month and you use $2000 to do cover all those bills, and you're left with $3000.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC



$100 in the future will most likely not be worth much considering the current trend of price increases.
