What is the amount of earnings from poker you need every month for 10 years to be completely happy in the material sense.

An independant person in the Uk would need a mininim of around $2000 a month so it's very difficult to maintain that with poker and live in the UK.

Do not worry, you do not have to be a professional poker player who would have such an income. You can win only once for good luck, which is enough to satisfy your material needs for a lifetime.

It's hard to determine that you always win $ 50 a day. It would be a nice amount in 10 years. But if you manage to risk bigger tournament seats then you can get a bigger tournament prize! But many people want to do this, but not everyone succeeds.

I mean if I'm profiting an extra 1k+ a Month in poker then It's a Good month. Obviously the amount of play Varies with that. Like Right now I've had to cut back on poker because of Outside events that are Restricting my funds to be able to play so instead of Playing every day like im used to I average around 9 days out of the month but the Hours will vary. So if Im raking in an extra Grand a month 12k a year Im golden. If Im back to my old grind where it's every day 4 to 20hrs then I'd be taking it as a loss everytime if Im not averaging 3 to 4k a Month

I think that the income of 2-3 thousand dollars a month is quite decent.

frankly nothing but $ 250 a month would make me happy being the smig in my country. for the moment I am losing and not yet the level required to claim this income (cash game or espresso). but luckily you only have to earn one good MTT to be profitable in the long run.

It will be a different amount of money in each country...therefore, the money from poker should be enough to quit the main job...

Well, you have to win really big, if you want to live off it for the rest of your life?
Like atleast 1 Million.

It is difficult to say, everyone has their own concepts of happiness and financial well-being. Someone needs $ 10,000 a month, and someone 2000$. All individually and relatively.

1k$ would be more than I earn in my day job so that would be awesome, but 2k$ is what would give me peace (I do have a wife you know:p)... and in course of 10 years, we would have to include inflation.

I would like to earn $3,000 a month. That would be nice as I have never earned anywhere near that.

that´s quite cheap cost of living.. hmm but you can´t have fixed earnings a month doing poker. i mean it sways right? so ideally u make allowance for down months. GL anyway.

My monthly income is around 1600$ and i am happy with that so such amount of money from poker would be great. If the idea though is to earn for 10 years enough money for the rest of your life then 4 to 5 times (hopefully more :D) this amount will be needed.

I think you have to work hard so that you have earned, and 200 very well ... if every month.
