Nothing against pouring money into whores, it can be cheaper than wives, but $200,000 (today's money) should last you a life time, not a few years, surely

Jesus Cristo. Hey whoever said sex work isn't real work needs to take a look at this. The only good thing about this video is it makes me feel better about myself. I'm watching the whole thing anyway.

Over here in the UK the choices next year are between utterly clueless & aimless, and a party that has literally been associated with antisemitism recently.

 

Like Brewster's Millions; I will be voting for "None of the Above" and hopefully rich enough like Brewster was to not give a F anymore.

@phil...Unless politics will be totally screwy, I am planning to stay put no matter the bitcoin price.
GDP per capita in US is higher than in UK and Germany, albeit lower than in Switzerland and, interestingly, Ireland, which means that salaries are typically higher in US as well.
The long term cap gains are manageable, too, at 20-23.8% (with no taxes on the first 89K for a couple and 15% on the first $553K).
Take 89K per year with no taxes, use it on whatever (regular salary covers everything else): real estate, investment in private companies, etc, etc.
89k is very roughly a $1mil house mortgage plus RE taxes in lower RE tax places like California.
In TX, a higher RE tax (was about 1.6%/year, effectively; now prop 4 just passed, so it would be lower by about 15%, so maybe about 1.4%) but you get "more house".

Phil, Biodom,

I have often thought of leaving the USA should I get rich (not quite there yet).  The problem is finding a nice "Plan B" country, which over the years I have given a lot of thought to.  My first inclinations were to look at South & Central America, as I speak the language and have some familiarity with some of those countries.  One country in particular I looked at in detail, as I have nice in-laws there, the food is good, etc.  But the politics of ALL those countries is very volatile, can drastically change on a dime...

Europe sort of looks good, but most is expensive.  And the cultures just different enough so that I would feel like, well, a foreigner.  Europe is pretty diverse, and I have not visited all of the many countries there.  Weather (cold) is an issue that I do take into account as well.  I do understand why many Americans would be happy to look at somewhere in Europe.

I've even visited and looked at Dubai, which has some strong plusses and minuses.  Rest of Asia?  No thanks.

Even with our chaos, the USA still looks relatively good to me vs. all the other countries I have visited and/or examined.

Things can change though, and probably will.  I'm leaving my options open.

Apparently, a new gizmo is being introduced tomorrow; a first hardware that incorporates GPT-4 plus some nifty lazers...a different interface than a current phone...maybe a first real change since 2008. We shall see.

Based on the size of my wife's family and here relatives I have met the three above could work.

My main issue is my wife and I have 3 pensions all paid by US fed government so I would need quite a bit of money to leave the USA.
