Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

You could make an argument that's a big gamble if you're expecting to use up the principal at all. So, 10x what you use in a typical year would be an absolute minimum, and that would involve an aggressive portfolio that you run down when the market is bad and earn back later. 20x or 30x would be more comfortable, especially if there's a chance you're going to spend more than you did when working.
A bit of a hack people do make work is moving to a poor country where costs of living are lower. Then the question is how much lower can you actually get it, which is both about your personality and interests and how poor a place you're willing to consider. Obviously, you can make $2 a day work, if you eat only corn and squat all day under a piece of aluminum. If you want to live the exact same way as at home down to brands, far afield can end up more expensive.
