    $5 million of spare money. Not net total wealth but actually $5 million investable dollars.

    At that point, I’d you stick that money in a very conservative and safe brokerage account allocation, 5% return per year is $250k. That is a higher salary than almost anyone needs, meaning you can live very comfortably without working. You can’t buy a yacht but you can be “done” and so can your children and their children if they aren’t stupid.

    If you choose to work, then you can just reinvest that $250k and let compound interest do its thing and get richer. Lucky you.
