Live the same

Do you know how much $$$ you need to never work again?

I started tracking my expenses at the end of 2021, so finally I have 3-year statistics. This is how much I've spent each year, not including travel:
- 2022 - $8400
- 2023 - $6612
- 2024 - $5876

My lifestyle has gotten more conscious and sustainable throughout the years, explaining the downward trend that contradicts inflation.

Travel cost me either $900 or $2500 a year - depending on the number and intensity of trips. 

So basically if I had $10k a year I would feel very comfortable, with a bit to spare 💜

To get that much in passive income I would need to invest from $100k (10% APY) to $200k (5% APY). Which is what some people earn from a couple of shitcoin trades 😆

And if I want to have kids someday, that amount would probably have to be doubled.

My wish for this year is to start receiving that passive income, hopefully I'll be able to amass enough capital 🙏

How big is that number for you? Or maybe you already live on passive income?

2024 Annual Expenses: $5,876

Lots of ways to live.

I've seriously considered moving somewhere cheap and retiring, but I'm not ready to eliminate the option of living somewhere more expensive entirely.

Being frugal and living a simple life really does feel good though

That sounds like a nice balance! Enjoying a simple life while keeping options open is a smart approach. Best of luck with your decision!
