Topic	Rich for the rest of your life but stuck working 40 hours until death
Zeus 08/05/17 1:43:46 PM #41:	PMarth2002 posted... Zeus posted... Also going to have to say it depends on the definition of work. PMarth2002 posted... No because that means I can't take vacations or personal days or anything and fuck that. Also missing one week apparently fucks you over for life. Shitty deal. You can work longer days to make up for it. Get 40 down near the start of one week then do 40 near the end of the next. You also can't retire. That's a deal breaker in itself. If you're doing what you love, why the fuck would you want to retire? TheCyborgNinja posted... I don't have to work, thankfully, so there's really no incentive. I'm not rich but my family is in the top 5% according to my father... $1M per month is amazing though, so if it was a job I didn't mind, I would probably cave. It'd be nice to have that level of financial freedom. If he means top 5% for earners, you're going to need to work eventually unless your family is good at saving. Top 5% of earners is only $214,462 which iirc is the 33% federal tax bracket then you lose on state taxes as well (I would say SSI, too, but your parents have probably maxed their lifetime contribution). Granted, if you live frugally and much of that money is invested, it could last you a lifetime. That said, most of the 1%ers I know have their kids work. mastermix3000 posted... Unrelated but i just got ripped off by a mechanic :O $86 for an oil change? Like who makes these prices And I thought going to a chain mechanic would be worth the convenience smh I deserve a slap back to locals tbh, I'm always surprised by the cost of an oil change. Raganork posted... Sounds like the typical Faust legend, and I know better than to accept shady deals from strange men.
