    As someone who didnt even pass their first year and dropped out, mind explaining whats involved in a PHD and why science ones are so grueling?

      It’s basically just working for 6 years for not much pay while your friends who got jobs right out of undergrad are making at 3-5x as much.

        Not only that, but all the political game involved in the academia is mental.

  They drop out so they can do the other thing full time instead of part time…

  Especially because it’s porn. Gotta make as much money now while she can

  Academia is misogynist enough without an OF account. She’s leaving a shitty job not just a low paying job.

  With 2m instead properly you won’t have to work another day in your life, with 1m you won’t either but you might not be able to live in the buffet cities.

  Give me 1m and I’m retiring tomorrow.

    How old are you and where do you live that you think thats enough to retire comfortably?

      We were talking about winning the lotto at work once and I said with a million dollars I would probably quit if I could earn 5% interest on it to get 50k a year. My boss was like, that’s not enough you have to think about daycare and mortgage and car payments and everything. I then reminded him that I was currently making 30k a year. He stopped talking very quickly lol.

      They said invested, not ‘put in a checking account and drawn down’

    • Kecessa@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      50k us is about what I make now and I’m in the suburbs around Ottawa.

      Invested safely that’s what I would make with 1m, with 2m I’m having the time of my life.

        The thing you may be forgetting to account for is inflation. 50k a year means your drawing the whole profit annually and in 10 or 20 years suddenly 50k is not enough to live on. You need enough in the fund to ensure it’s making more money than you spend so it can grow YoY and make more each year to cover inflation.

        Additionally, if you are not working you are paying 100% out of pocket for insurance. One health incident draws your savings below the amount you need to live off of.

        Right now they say not to retire at 60 unless you fully own your property and have over a million in your 401k. And that’s accounting for taking a loss to your social security payments past 67 due to early withdrawal and for out of pocket health insurance costs. If you are younger you need even more.

  You can always get that degree later when your income slows down. You’ll have more total money if you dedicate yourself full-time to the money-making endeavour.

    True, I didn’t think of that
