Stock Market Investing

[canone]

Hey fastlaners, investing 10 millions into the stock market would give us an annual return of 500k in dividends, correct? (At least in the way MJ is doing it). While listening to the audio book, I was asking myself, isn't 500k NOW worth LESS in 10-20 years? I mean why not live off the 10 million you've got anyways?

If you get 500k, you'll be at 10m in 20 years, and by 2049, a new lexus could cost 500k.

You can.

Yes, if all of it is invested.

However I don't recommend investing all of it as then your master becomes Wall Street.

Read Unscripted , Chapter 48, it goes deeper into the investing philosophy of Paycheck Pots.

If you aren't spending $500k per year of your dividends (for example, if you only need $250k to support your lifestyle), then you get to add $250k/year in more investments, which increases your dividend amount over time. Also, your stock values should hopefully appreciate, so the value of your stocks will not be $10M after 20 years, but $20-30M.
