Not so much as to become a rich ghoul, but enough to live well. Assume no student loans, no car loans, and you rent. How would you live your life?

    $80,000/yr in investment income 🤮🤮

    But seriously, that income and no debt would mean I could spend all my time on hobbies and mutual aid which would be nice

    Sleep 8 hrs every night, work out, organize the Proletariat and still spend like 5hrs a day smoking weed and looking at memes.

    Probably keep working in agriculture, but being freed from the market I could concentrate on permaculture. Plus the world needs more commie farmers. You bring the hammer, I'll bring the sickle.

    Get the surgeries I need. Being trans is expensive, and American health insurance doesn't give a shit about trans people, especially trans women.

    Why does this have to be a problem only money can fix.

    Don't know what I'd be doing, but I'd imagine I would suddenly start having decent night's sleep on the regular.

    I'd buy a house, a modest house, and work on it as a hobby. I'd volunteer more. Have a family. Sleep in late every fucking day. This is what I consider true freedom.

        It's the most control you can have over your housing, a basic need. Yeah it comes with obligations, it's still more free than renting.

            Yeah, but taxes and maintenance on 80k isn't a massive issue.

            Also you're maintaining your housing. That's less a burden and more a basic fact of life.

                That kinda yearly income makes for an easy down payment and low risk for mortgage lenders.

                They might be comfortable with a mortgage, I said I would save up.

    Save up for a cabin in the mountains where I could live with my two black hounds / save up for a house in some old Italian town where I could wear three piece suits and take bike trips into the Tuscan countryside

    Keep working. Live guilt free off my job while still banking savings.

    Do that probably 10 more years and then retire with my biggest expense (housing) taken care of.

    edit: WTF am I saying, I'd work for a few more years then contribute a few hundred thousand to the chapo commune fund.
