I have a dream!!!
I have planned to earn 1mln USD, deposit that in the bank and enjoy the life with a small income from bank rate.
Then I will use all my day in poker tournaments.
I don't think I could retire from work comfortably with just 1 million; and as much as I love poker, I think I would become bored playing it all day every day without any real goals.
If you could stack that 1 milly that yielded high interest returns, you could live decent on that alone. but for sure would be nice to bink for a milly and grind poker all day.
This is a good dream. But I can say one thing, as soon as you have a million dollars, your needs will grow - and you will want ten. Here the main thing is to learn how to manage money, not everyone is ready for it.
