Date: August 28th, 2026 6:23 PM Author: claret milk Let's say I just wanna either sleep under a bridge or built a tiny hidden shack way in the woods
Then eat fast food while chilling at the library or 24/7 gym all of the time
100k should probably be more than enough for 50+ years in pretty much any city/country/town
Right? |
Date: August 28th, 2026 7:45 PM Author: bistre house generalized bond Yeah if you get food stamps and eat at soup kitchens and shower at the gym you can probably make it on less than 100K for 50 years. Or just plan killself after like 20 years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5898450&forum_id=2ГѓЖ’#50100174) |

Date: August 28th, 2026 8:22 PM Author: Pea-brained submissive school cafeteria you're going to have a lot less to worry about w/r/t police harassment (and about 10,000 other potentially deadly homeless person exigencies) sleeping in a van than under a bridge. the police prefer people being out of sight in a vehicle. living as a full-on homeless person sleeping in a field or something, your life expectancy is about 2 years.

Date: August 28th, 2026 8:29 PM Author: claret milk I'd put the "I can basically disappear from normal economic life and probably never need to beg/work again" number closer to $250k–$350k, assuming you're willing to live incredibly cheaply.

It really depends if you can pull public benefits or not in whatever state you're in. Free medical insurance in the states that offer it is huge |

It does not account for inflation though and so it assumes that one has their money in assets that at least keep pace with inflation |

Date: August 28th, 2026 8:45 PM Author: bistre house generalized bond So what, he is spending like 10K per year on food for 50 years? He's not living 50 more years under a bridge. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5898450&forum_id=2ГѓЖ’#50100342) |
