re: infofronts "fuckyoucoiner" poll
my answer is based on todays value of ~$4k USD.
voted 200-499
[...]
I just did a "firecalc" for 1.5 million. Spending level of $58k. 95.8% success rate with at least 100k left over after 30 years, based on 118 total cycles, of which 5 failed. That's 3.91% of the starting portfolio.
I think that's pretty much fuckyou money, in addition to any other income you may have. Again, depends on your level of expenses. I voted a little higher, just in case.
i was temped to vote a it higher too. the level i picked does amount (for me) to a decent amount of fuckyous, even accounting for some level of problems. but its an amount that
should work out ok as long as im not stupid, and allow a very comfortable lifestyle plus many other options as well . and i have priced in my current net worth (nothing huge but since it was setup and already at the point i could play a few fuckyou cards already it helps in this poll) so i had a head start.
realistically, in fiat terms, 10 mil is about the minimum amount for "real" fuck you money. imo of course. and even then stupidity can wipe that out fast.
You likely realize that I picked the same, and my reasons are a bit different from yours, but very similar.
Don't you think that the range is a bit much, though?
Would it not be helpful to sort out within that range?
For example:
1) 200 to 299 BTC
2) 300 to 399 BTC
3) 400 to 499 BTC
Within that. I would pick option 1, and mine is based on a kind of minimum adequate entry level to fuck you status (that I have likely already over-explained), even though there is still a decent gap between 200 to 299 BTC, I would be on the lower end of that 200 to 299 BTC range.
But based on your already discussion I believe (but I am not 100% sure) that you would likely pick option 3, and maybe even you would be on the upper end of that 400 to 499 BTC range. So within the whole existing range of 200 to 499 BTC, there seems to be a decent gap between you and me, even though we picked the same range.
At an entry level, you are describing yourself as like 2x of me, yet I wonder if that is reflected in other areas of our lives, too.. like how we live or is it merely that you feel more comfortable with a higher cushion than me, and we would end up still living a similar kind of life in terms of how much we spend and on what?
Based on your ending comment: "realistically, in fiat terms, 10 mil is about the minimum amount for "real" fuck you money. imo of course. and even then stupidity can wipe that out fast." I am thinking that you might be more afraid of yourself, than I am? hahahahahahahaha
Edit: By the way, as I type this post, it appears that the test of $4k is imminent. Or do we have another false alarm?
