That would only generate about $25k/yr without touching the principle or being outpaced by inflation. You can take 4% but you’d run out of money in about 30 years and $40k would be worth roughly half. But if you can live off $25k you’re good to go!
Okay maybe bit more than 1 million but I wouldn’t need much to live comfortable. Hell I watch a guys YouTube who travels the country in a van seeing amazing sites and living it up. And he does this all on a budget of like 1000 a month.
He traveled all the way to Alaska and it was an amazing playlist. Makes the life I am living seem so pathetic.
I used to watch Cheap RV Living with Bob Wells for years. I even ended up living in my RV for about 4 years while gainfully employed. I will say what you don’t appreciate from YouTube is the sheer boredom day to day and unexpected repairs are brutal. Mechanics want like $100-$250/hr for labor, plus you have parts.
Not to mention stealth camping has never felt completely comfortable to me and getting called out of my car once at gun point by the local sheriffs office was enough to chase me into KOAs.
I used to know a crustpunk that did the beet harvest every year. He’d live like a king for a few months and was homeless the rest of the time hopping trains and shit.
