mean, that’s objectively a bad thing, but congrats on being a new money dork
Money is money, you sound pathetic as usual. You’re a fricking accountant, so noble.

Do you really have to get to the 7 mil range to own a "vacation home"?
The second home comes around WAY before 7 mil. A fraction of that actually.

Portugal is a very attractive option.

We aren’t talking a timeshare or a fricking condo at the Phoenix in gulf shores.
Again, we’re talking about having multiple $1mm+ homes. Could someone with less swing it, yes. The rules aren’t hard and rigid.

I fight the government for money back for taxpayers while you slurp off a regulated racket industry.
But like I said, happy for you. Don’t hate the player, hate the game, you’re just a dork

You’re a 5’3 nerd who brags about running and you crunch numbers all day, who are you to call anyone any names?
Not everyone on the OT is a fat slob

I’ve got no dog in this fight, but he did come in and trash my thread and then came back to it to participate for whatever reason

$250,000 - Probably have anywhere from $150k-250k annual salary; we can afford a decent house, we may have a bit of commute, can splurge on occasion and probably don't have too much to worry about as long as you don't get laid off.
man the average american doesn't have a clue how much they NEED to actually live a nice comfortable life. You can do every single thing you just mentioned above for less than half that household income.

This is true, especially in rural areas of southern states

I would think most of the people on this board don't know what a family office is, why it would exist, or the general risks associated with it.
If you have to work a job to pay your bills you are working class. You are a laborer.
It's incredible how many people I've met who disagree.

Highly dependent on where you live. You aren’t living within 30-45 minutes of downtown Dallas in any neighborhood you want to live in for less than about a half milly. At $200k with kids, that’s just about exactly what he described. And if you aren’t in a population center, it’s hard to make $200k. Like almost no one does hard.

You have an inflated value of what people need to have nice things and what they need to make to accumulate money. It's time in the market. $250k is easily doable for most Americans by just putting a few hundred dollars into an investment a month and letting it grow. There's no need to make $150-$250k a year to put it away.
$250 a month for a 31 year old in something like VOO at the average rate of about 13% a year for 30 years nets over $1.2 million at age 60. I't really not that hard to accumulate money. You just have to pay yourself diligently.

Don't make fun of Mingo. He bills at $500/hr and makes his employer a fortune while he brings home $50/hr!!!!!

An 8% return is only like $375k though, which isn’t nearly enough to retire at 60
