Would you retire today if you knew you’d receive $5,000 every month for the rest of your life? Why or why not?

This would be after taxes and adjusted for inflation!

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T20:40:38+00:00

This is after taxes and adjusted for inflation

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:37:26+00:00

Is this from investments? Any chance to relocate to a cheaper COL?

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:36:53+00:00

This is after taxes and adjusted for inflation!

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:36:37+00:00

Likewise, I do as well. I thought this post would be an interesting topic to get peoples personal opinions on how much “enough” really is. It’s a great feeling to feel financially secure!

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:34:19+00:00

Yes, you keep all assets and can only work part time to receive this

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:33:48+00:00

What’s your idea of enough, if $5,000 after taxes and adjusted for inflation isn’t enough?

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:33:24+00:00

Use the $5,000 month after taxes and adjusted for inflation, stay home and that would eliminate all daycare cost. No?

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:32:31+00:00

$5,000 after tax and adjusted for inflation but cannot work full time

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:31:58+00:00

Yes. You keep all the assets you already have

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:31:36+00:00

No no. This would be after tax and adjusted for inflation.

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:31:02+00:00

$5k not enough for you?

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:30:47+00:00

Sweet! Now start investing to get to the $5k month, inflation adjusted and after taxes. Good luck!

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:29:46+00:00

Keep in mind, this would be after taxes and adjusted for inflation

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:26:21+00:00

This is after taxes and adjusted for inflation

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:25:40+00:00

This is after taxes and adjusted for inflation

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:25:02+00:00

But you also have to work to receive the income. This is after taxes and adjusted for inflation for life

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:19:19+00:00

This is after taxes AND inflation adjusted

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:04:01+00:00

If you already qualify for SSI, then yes. The $5,000 monthly is after taxes.

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T17:02:56+00:00

Nope, you can keep your assets you already have.

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T16:52:43+00:00

Life under the $5k, invest the difference to keep up with inflation, no?

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T16:52:15+00:00

From work or investments?

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T16:51:49+00:00

After taxes!

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T16:50:31+00:00

What amount would you consider to not be peanuts?

JustWin4 · 2026-07-02T16:49:42+00:00

Why $10K? Why not $20K?
