If had an extra 700k all of the sudden, yes, I could retire earlier.


The hypo says you have nothing before getting this.

Taking the hypo literally, you also own no clothes. Tough choice here going for food or clothes first. I guess it depends on the weather.

Probably give my kids a chunk, but a few acres, build a cabin and invest the rest.

Could easily turn that into 20k a month income in first year, then double it the next year, and the next year. Then it would probably stay steady for a while as I grew the business size (personnel, equipment, budget) in preparation to massively increase volume afterwards... more of a simultaneous thing, but the first few years I'd maintain a very small staff and slowly take on equipment.

I'm about to start my plan soon anyways, but it will be at more of a snail speed since I don't have a million to start. It'll take 3 years just to get to 10k a month...but will speed up after that

Depends on the standard of living you want or are used to. Single man with a cheap cabin/camp who hunts and fishes every day? Super easy to retire on one million. Much less really.

Or you could retire to a cheap location and live like a king.

If it were so easy to do that, we would have a whole lot more multi-millionaires than we do now.

You should have no problem borrowing the funds with such a solid plan that is so easy to execute.

Annual Expenses will most likely eat up the leftovers of the 1 mil after a home purchase.

So hypothetically you can't work anymore? I wouldn't hang it up right now with that amount of money.

Are you replying to my example of a single man living in a camp hunting and fishing every day? What would his expenses be?

No mortgage.
Most food is free.
Utilities cheap.
Insurance blah.
Little transportation expense.
Clothes.

What else? Should be easy to get by on less than 20k/year.

I’d still own absolutely nothing as you can easily imagine TD has 250k posters, leaving me with 4 dollars

Get a really cheap cabin on the lake and invest the rest. I'm trying to go straight into retirement and live a simple, easy life. I dont need to ball out.



This, but instead of a lake cabin, I’d get like 50 or so acres and a simple cabin

Pay off parents house.

I would turn their garage (its detached) into an apartment (which its already set up for) so they could rent it out and have income.

Buy a duplex (or 4 if i can afford it) live in one side and rent the other.

You couldn’t live off $30-40k a year with no mortgage?
