if I got a million dollars now, I'd stick it in a vanguard ETF or some other index tracker and forget about it for about 3 decades.

Then I can retire and live the last half of my life lavishly on that bank.

Means I don't need to worry about retirement or anything, that's a huge burden off my shoulders.

Hell, after about two decades at 8% annually, it'll be worth ~4.7 million, with an annual return of $370k/year. Stick most of that back in to keep up with inflation, live off the returns. Perpetual work-free living. Sure a lot of that will be eaten up by tax, but I don't need much to live extremely comfortably.


That's what my chemistry teacher thought and then the dot com burst happened
