The point is not to chill and just burn through the savings and not work. How would having that much money saved, change the way you look for jobs?

    For good measure, well add a slush fund of $2k a month to cover property taxes ($350/mo), gas/auto repairs, house repairs/non food related purchases, kids hobbies/electives/clothes

    If we want to talk vacation, it’s gonna be an additional $1k-2k saved a month.

    If you’re saving for college lol, add $1750/mo for 20 years to cover 3 kids at avg priced 4 year institutions.

    To sustain that, you need to be pulling down over $350k/yr as a household.

      Lmao I love how when you write it out like this it makes so much so very clear about the people on this site.

      That’s such an absurd level of casual wealth that the amount of leftists on here with no idea how the average person lives makes a lot of sense
