Shit a million bucks will at least buy you a house and then some
In my area you could buy three!
I feel like three houses!
Depending on where you live. I moved away from the Bay Area because $1M wouldn’t get you a starter home an hour drive away from the city.
Maybe to you Captain Richiepants
Still sounds catchier than, “I feel like a month’s rent”.
I feel like a starter home in a high cost of living area.
I mean, it’s not as great as it used to be, but if you have any extra million bucks, feel free to give them to me if you feel like it’s meh.
It’s meh, but put it in saving account with 3%p.a. mean you’re getting 2.5k per month from doing nothing. It’s meh money as well, i know, but you won’t goes hungry in a stable economy at least.
Till prices rises and you need 5k for the rent, and need to go back to work, even if millionaire.
and need to go back to work
Well, that’s the issue. The dividend of 2.5k from investment obviously won’t allow a comfortable living and should be treated as something extra. It’s pretty ridiculous to live in a big city with rent higher than the dividend and without job lol.
It’s wild when you watch a show like ‘The Rockford Files’ because Jim et al were always using specific sums when they talked. Someone boasting about owning a $1 million house in Beverly Hills or spilling their guts for $20 is pretty mindboggling.
“I feel like a million bucks” = “I’m OK” “I feel like a thousand bucks” = “I’m one misfortune away from total collapse”
A million Zimbabwe bucks from 2009?
I feel like a million-gazillion-bajillion bucks today.
