How much $ is needed to never have to work again?

[Ludanto]

I knew 2k would make people smile, lol.

2 million is a lot more than I would have guessed. But (as mentioned at the beginning of my OP) I have no clue. One also has to see that inflation-indexed government bonds sounds like a bullet proof thing.

I wonder what people with a good knowledge about the stockmarket, poker, sportsbetting (from the sportsbetting forum it looks like one can live of that) or other trades would say they would need.

In some post (was in NVG though I think) someone wrote in the past that 100k would be enough to make him never "really work" again. Even with my extremely limited knowledge about finances I think this is low though. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
