Once I hit the 1.5/2m after taxes range, which will hopefully be in the next 18 months since I'm going to try and play a ton of hours, I feel like I can basically live off of the interest

Depending on the specifics, you do realize how small your annual income is probably going to be, right?

Assuming that you mean interest in the "money market account" sense, your real return is probably going to be about 2% per year, or $40,000.

Certainly not money markets. Perhaps a treasury ladder (5 yr) or a 50/50 mix of total bond mkt index with total stock mkt index should be able to generate an income stream of 4.0%.
