I don’t need much

Tuesday, 8 May 2007 | Off-topic

Although I really like my job, it is quite demanding and when I have finishes writing 63 (!) emails on a weekend I have a coffee and wonder what I will do with the rest of my weekend … which will by that time be reduced to half a day. I start thinking about those times before I was working and how much I enjoyed not having to do anything. So somehow, I need to make that possible.

I need 2 million euro.

Lets say you gross an average of 5% yield on that kind of money. Perhaps a little on the high side, but not at all a ridiculous number. Those 2 million would then split into two parts. The first half will give you enough to make the amount grow to compensate for the loss in value (due to inflation) that typically happens every year, up to about 2.5% inflation. The second half would gross about 50.000 euro income every year, which translates into about 4.000 euro per month to spend on travelling, shopping, etc. That kind of money makes for a comfortable life I would say.

Now all I need is the plan to make those 2 million. Please submit your business proposals to me by email!
