Default Re: Pick your salary

Does the magnitude of inflation and the magnitude of the ROI on 1.4 mil matter?

If the ROI is a meager 3% in the first year ($42k) and it's not beating 4% inflation, it is still beating the magnitude of the inflation since the actual increase of the cost of electricity, gas, health insurance, etc. doesn't increase that much in magnitude.

Also if you own a home outright, which I assume you would if you had $1.4 mil, your required annual income has decreased dramatically.
