I could easily retire for life on that money and live very comfortably. Shit, it would give me a higher yearly wage than I’m on now.
I don’t get why people online frequently act like that’s not a lot of money. It’s £750k.
You could buy an alright house (outside of London) on that, retire at 30, and enjoy an above average amount of after-bills spending money for the rest of your life, without having to work at all.
How does the math work out on that? I’m not quite sure what home prices are like in the UK, but let’s say you bought a house for 350k and paid cash. That leaves 400k. You retire at 30, and conservatively have 40 more years to live. That’s only 10k/year for the rest of your life. You still have expenses such as home insurance, car insurance, consumables, etc. Doesn’t seem like much. To be fair I’m also not factoring in any kind of pension or social security or anything like that.

Yeah but it gets parceled out to you over 12 years and you still have to live on the money as it comes in in the meantime
