Dang it I came here expecting a bunch of high prices but exactly the right answer was already at the top... it's like we've all done the math at some point š
> 500k on top of what you have or 500k total?
Either one
> What problems would it solve?
Help me change my citizenship / migrate or retire early to somewhere in the Caribbean.
Thatās really not a lot of money, definitely not enough to disappear for the rest of a lifetime. Unless you just want to go completely off grid alone, even then it would be tough.
You canāt live in the US for more than 15 years on that, unless youāre willing to go like off grid in a cabin like I said. Or youāre okay living in completely shit conditions.
Say you're 25? A nice house paid off for under 200k paid off cash, then 300k invested can easily average 10% return a year to top off any job you got. Even if you make 50k a year at work, that's a pretty easy life and certainly not "squalor"
*edit*
I should obviously note I'm an expert. I lived 3 years traveling Europe and Africa, living a pretty extravagant lifestyle of partying and sight seeing. I once did 9 weeks in 8 countries (western europe) on just under 100 dollars, went to the craziest nightclubs and fanciest restaurants, but everything was given to me freely. Not everyone has the same skill-set but there's layers I'm sure and people can get by on a couple thousand a month.
Min: 5k would solve all problems for me which is kinda sad how unreachable a goal it is for a lot of us while others spend that kind of money on a purse. Wild isnāt it!
That's pretty much the same for me. 5k would turn my life around but it's more likely the number I need will increase than it is I'll actually get out of the shit
Yeah Iām
Running backwards and will likely die of health issues before itās fixed which is incredibly sad to me lol. All I need is a car and a chance to get a leg up on my life but like many other folks , it wonāt happen and life goes on!
May I ask where you live? Why do you need money to fix your health problems? You shouldn't die just because of money, that's not fair. Can we help you somehow?
Missouri
Money pays bills and provides insurance and transportation as well as medications and food and clothing. Not having a vehicle has basically sealed my fate because unless you live in a city you need one. Which costs money.
I am better off than many others who are closer to death and canāt work at all. I just have accepted the fact I likely wonāt fix this and I will have to be okay with that.
I donāt want anything from anyone I just want the world to become a better place so people who are low on the totem pole and donāt have family or dependents or anything - still have a fighting chance. but thank you anyways. I see the world
Slowly changing and people caring more about one another and it gives me hope. But I have still watched 2 people die in the last 3 years from situations similar to mine so I just would like that to change.
I'm deeply sorry for all the people who are going through stuff like that. That's crazy to me. Everyone, no matter where in the world they are, should get free healthcare. I'll never understand why American doesn't care about their citizens... I assumed you're living in America before I asked and that I knew it because of your post says everything. That's just so wrong. I have a few chronical illnesses and I wouldn't survive in the USA as well, I'm so thankful that I don't have to deal with this. It's just not fair, I feel so bad for y'all..
Oh sorry! I forgot to mention USA. My close minded ass forgets š¤£š¤£š¤£
Itās definitely not fair but I recently just accepted it for what it is and stopped panicking over it. Begging for help would make me want to die anyways and the guilt that goes along with it is not for me. I have done my absolute best in a severely complicated situation and I continue to do so. Itās not enough and wonāt be, but Iām not leaving behind children or a spouse or family so itās not as bad as many other people.
That's not true :)
For example: Brazil. They define healthcare as an universal right. Anyone in the country, even short-term visitors, can get health care for free.
And what I meant by free healthcare in general is that there are a lot of countries where healthcare is free for the citizens because everything is funded by social security contributions.
Nobody has to die because of money or nobody needs to think about it before they go to the doctor or the emergency room etc. They get all the needed medication for free. They get help immediately without questions being asked and without having to worry about money. So obviously it gets funded but I thought that's common sense when I posted this comment, apparently it's not.
>And what I meant by free healthcare in general is that there are a lot of countries where healthcare is free for the citizens because everything is funded by social security contributions.
That's not free. You're paying for it with taxes. And though you're not aware of it, you're also paying extra to facilitate all of the bureaucratic overhead.
>They define healthcare as an universal right.
Declaring something to be a universal right does not change scarcity. It would be like if you declared beachfront property to be a universal human right. That does not change the actual supply of beachfront land.
What it does do, however, is create a system where companies are forced to sell certain goods and services at a loss (because people have a "right" to them).
Then those companies, because they cannot sustain such losses indefinitely, must turn around and change exorbitant prices for other goods and services which are not "rights" (and thus not subject to government price ceilings), to negate the losses imposed on them. This is why an ER visit for a scraped knee can cost up nearly $1000 for what amounts to tape, gauze, and 5 minutes of examination - because the insurance companies and hospitals are trying to recoup the losses they are being forced to sustain.
Yeah I feel ya I am currently walking
To work to barely scrape by just to pay bills or sometimes skip a bill and buy food. Going through radiation but lost insurance so just letting the tumors fester and drowning. Life is
Hilarious
Not looking for pity no worries there :) just want other folks to realize there are tons of people who fall through the cracks even if they do work hard, and a lot of them just kinda work till the day they die and thatās that. Iāve come to terms with it but Iām hopeful someday in the future itāll
change for others. No one should have to accept they will fail suffer and die because itās their only option. Itās weird as hell. Lol
Fun facts: 1/3 of American adults wouldnāt have the means to pay a $400 emergency expenditure. 82% of American adults aged from 18-25 suffer from financial anxiety, 83% between the ages of 26-43. Overall, 65% of all American adults say financial stress is a major factor in their daily life.
This is very humbling, I would need $5M. But after reading your post I realize I might be better off than others. Although Iām the poorest person in my wealthy neighbourhood. Lesson; Always be grateful
About Ā£10,000, then I can stop struggling to afford food. Sure, my life won't be made with just Ā£10000, but I can actually start working on improving myself with that weight off my shoulders
For life? Probably 3-5 million. Pay off the house and live in interest. Assuming 5% interest that would be $150,000-$250,000 per year, which is way more than I would need right now but I'm hoping to live for a while and I don't want to be screwed by inflation.
Same, but sadly, this isn't the case for the majority of people. Heard a stat not too long ago that something like 45% of Americans don't even have $1k in savings.
Most people are worried about the present and don't think about the future. I doubt I'll live to see retirement age anyway. I do have an IRA account and 401k but not much.
Yeah i know. I'm lucky on that part. Not that I'm rich i just have a stable income, don't live in USA and everything has settled down to steady routine.
Yeah, but thereās always that anxiety of what if SHTF or not having the freedom to just leave my crappy low paying job without something lined up. Even getting a cold can be stressful because i donāt have sick pay and my expenses are very tight.
I donāt disagree with that at all. Iām just pointing out that there are money problems and then there are mental problems that no amount of money can genuinely solve (yes, even with healthcare). Money problems can be temporary but unfortunately a lot of peopleās mental health problems are a lifelong battle that they lose, regardless of their bank account.
Try y having a disease where meds cost over 25k before needed insurance plus hospital stays and ambulance rides, life as an American.
Uncontrollable epilepsy that's med resistant with depression and anxiety from it due to its location because I'm a fuckin lottery winner.
This is horseshit for most rational men. You can only say that if you 1. Already have over 500k in value and so you donāt know any better 2. Donāt plan on having any offspring
Money solves all the problems up to a point. That point is probably 500k and then after that itās relative.
You jealous?
Ofcourse more money could improve some things, but it's not necessary. Current status is completely acceptable.
We can take an example from Buddhist monks. They have almost nothing and are still in peace/content.
I moved to poland from Belarus and spent maybe 2ā¬k for moving. Found a job within a month.
Key for rent is splitting it or renting a room. Also, job prospects depend on your education and experience.
Absolutely wish you the best of luck and hope you can get out of your situation as quickly as possible. Network and make friends in other countries and utilize those connections. Start by making a list of countries or cities you would like to move to that are easy to gain citizenship or at least have the ability after jumping through the hoops. No point in moving somewhere on a temporary visa if you're trying to change things completely.
For once in my life my problems arenāt around money at all. Iāve realized the time I desire to spend doing activities or with loved ones and friends matter so much but sadly I have to go to work in order to pay the bills and donāt have that time. Although, 20k would make things like my car loans go away so that could be cool
With enough money you wouldn't have to go to work. Other than that little trick, I feel the same way. My problems are not financially bound.
More money might pay for more therapy or something. More money would permit me to take unpaid leaves of absence. But I suspect large patches of otherwise unoccupied time would lead to new problems.
None. Spent my entire life working on myself and now I have a great career, no debt, and more money than I could ever need. Realistically I can probably retire in my mid 40s. But frankly Iām just bored and lonely. All my friends have married and/or had kids. I donāt have someone of my own to share this nest egg with be it a partner or kids. Iām bored with most things except sitting at home and tinkering with stuff, but at the same time I donāt want to do anything new because I donāt see the appeal. Iām looking for that spark now that Iāve āwon the gameā so to speak. Feel like Saitama honestly lol.
Be careful and keep your head on, for sure there's some partner out there who's going to pretend their way into your investment, not saying that's guaranteed, just be careful and don't rush into marriage too quickly any relationship you get into take your time and enjoy it
Appreciate the advice, but if you think about it, I wouldnāt be in the position I am today if I humored every, or frankly *any* woman that crossed my path.
Honestly? 2 million would set me free from any problem cuz I could invest it, let it grow and weather the current storm, and then quit my job. I donāt really have any debt and I could live off the investment gains of the 2 million.
50k, probably.
Not school loans or credit cards or anything like that. I owe the IRS this year for keeping more of my money in my paychecks rather than getting less for a refund later. I could really use a better vehicle to keep my kids going where the need to be, help with paying for a divorce, we desperately need some new clothes, shoes, haircuts and such. They both need braces (oof). And just some cushion so I can be present in my life and not just worried all the time about what I would do if something came up that cost a lot.
Honestly if I could just have $250k, Iād pay off my house, cars and have enough left over to add an addition on the house. So then still have ~$100k leftover.
I think like 4 or 5 grand would probably fix most of not all of my current problems. Which isn't a lot, but it's way more than I have. And living check to check doesn't really let me put anything aside.
Depends on what you define as problems. Honestly, I donāt need any more money/income or assets. Could definitely manage our spending a little better and be a little more comfortable. But overall we donāt want for anything and can generally buy the things we want without much trouble. Now if I wanted to pay off all of our debts (house, car, etc), weād need about $220k.
40 million... I don't really want to spend most of my time during the day working. So I think that would be enough to live off investments and pay for most things.
And pass that on to the next generation
None. This will probably get downvoted, but all I need is my family and my faith. I live paycheck to paycheck but I have a strong faith and a loving family and I consider myself a rich man.
Iāll be content if I had 100k of liquid cash.
Pay off sisterās and my debt. Get plenty left over to put a down payment on a duplex unit for us both.
Youāre gross. First, I would not be happy if I living in a home and my sister was struggling in the streets. Second Iām Gay. Your comment really reflects your state of mind.
Some problems can't be solved with money. Of those that can be solved with money, I think I'm doing ok to address those with the income I have already.
Not a fun or amazing answer, but it's great to be practical and be glad at where you are.
Ā£20,000 - Ā£40,000
Pays back what's left of my student loan, gives me an emergency fund, helps pay back a couple debts & probably sets me up so I don't have to struggle.
I essentially lost Ā£20,000 over the last 18 months due to being long-term sick & getting no support from the government (Rent, food, bills, depression making me send money, pharmaceutical bills etc.)
500k. I just need to clear my loans, finish school, fund my brand, own land, build my houses then I can cultivate and invest in myself to grow my profits in addition to also just letting my money work for me. It would be so easy but I'm currently staying from the ground up...
I read these threads to keep a realistic perspective outside my own head-space. It's been a long time since I was in a place where $1000 would be considered life-changing.
Unbeknownst to us, my wife's aunt (by marriage) left us in her will an account worth about $170k. She had no children, was widowed 20y ago. Split the estate equally among her 2 brothers except for this account. Waiting for the $ to be released, she died 3 weeks ago. Trying to decide what to do with it. Current plan is a week vacation ($6k-ish), a new living room window and investing the rest.
I'd be happy with $2,000 a month for the rest of my life. If there is no limit though having a lump some of 100 million would make me never have to worry again
None, I think.
I mean, I would love to have about 400k DKK for a 20% down payment on a small apartment, but it's not really a *problem*. I'm currently renting a nice little apartment in a great area, I just kinda want to own my own home.
Strictly speaking, nothing.
However, if you gave me Ā£100k, I could do all the work I want to do to my house right now without saving and doing it ion bits and pieces.
If you gave me Ā£1M, I could use that to stop working and have a comfortable lifestyle.
17k to pay off my mum's debt
20k for a house deposit
10k to sort out some other stuff/buffer
That's the minimum amount. Although being able to buy a house outright would be even better.
Damn I wish I was rich I would be in here like Oprah, you get some money and you get some money. Oh what's that under your chair.... oops looks like it's more money, who put that their? š
Money can't solve any of my actual problems. But sure, I'd like to get enough money to buy my own apartment - yet lack of owned housing isn't a problem, just a mundane inconvenience.
Min: $500k Max: Unlimited
500k would prob be the right amount.
This. šš½
That 500k would solve my problems too. That's about how much I need.
I need about tree fiddy.
That is about right, enough to pay off some debt, get my fiancƩ and I newer (not new, but new to us) vehicles (we both drive 2001 vehicles) and buy very nice house (around 300k). Use the remaining to invest and keep back for retirement. That would set us up for success and we can finally be out of poverty.
Problems is a loaded term. We all have problems regardless of cash. Pay off all debt I would agree 500k.
Dang it I came here expecting a bunch of high prices but exactly the right answer was already at the top... it's like we've all done the math at some point š
Agreed, would help solve some debts and some wiggle room on my mortgage while enjoying baby time

Thatās really not a lot of money, definitely not enough to disappear for the rest of a lifetime. Unless you just want to go completely off grid alone, even then it would be tough.

I could really use a better vehicle to keep my kids going where the need to be, help with paying for a divorce, we desperately need some new clothes, shoes, haircuts and such. They both need braces (oof). And just some cushion so I can be present in my life and not just worried all the time about what I would do if something came up that cost a lot.
$300k
10k would help me pay off my car and some debt. Thatās all I need. I want more but need? 10k lol
*chants for the beast to appear*
Honestly if I could just have $250k, Iād pay off my house, cars and have enough left over to add an addition on the house. So then still have ~$100k leftover.
10-35 mill USD
I can give you 35 mL
I think like 4 or 5 grand would probably fix most of not all of my current problems. Which isn't a lot, but it's way more than I have. And living check to check doesn't really let me put anything aside.
Depends on what you define as problems. Honestly, I donāt need any more money/income or assets. Could definitely manage our spending a little better and be a little more comfortable. But overall we donāt want for anything and can generally buy the things we want without much trouble. Now if I wanted to pay off all of our debts (house, car, etc), weād need about $220k.
3600 a month roughly. Almost there now. I mean that would be the minimum
According to the IRS, $4,218.78.
I need about tree fiddy
About tree 50
40 million... I don't really want to spend most of my time during the day working. So I think that would be enough to live off investments and pay for most things. And pass that on to the next generation
an annual pay of 80k would be nice. My problem is work. So if I could quit but still have money then that would be nice. AKA retirement lol
0 because they are all family matters.
I need $10k now, but $500k ultimately
$600K would pay off both my mortgages. I think Iād be pretty content with that. Iāll happily take more though.
Probably $40k tops. That would get me back to even which would be the world off my shoulders.
None. This will probably get downvoted, but all I need is my family and my faith. I live paycheck to paycheck but I have a strong faith and a loving family and I consider myself a rich man.
Bout two grand would do it.
I bought a house last year, so about $270k.
Give me 15MM and Iām set.
After Sallie Mae gets her $50,000, I would just have car payment, mortgage and a moderate credit card
I just like 4 months rent, so I can save up to fix and restore my car, prep for a new job and have a holiday as I haven't had a break in over 8 years
Iāll be content if I had 100k of liquid cash. Pay off sisterās and my debt. Get plenty left over to put a down payment on a duplex unit for us both.
That duplex wouldn't be in Alabama would it?
Youāre gross. First, I would not be happy if I living in a home and my sister was struggling in the streets. Second Iām Gay. Your comment really reflects your state of mind.
Sure
Jesus what wrong with you.
You would say that.
15k so i can pay off my debt before 2027.
Short term: 5k Long term: 20k Permanently: 100k
Some problems can't be solved with money. Of those that can be solved with money, I think I'm doing ok to address those with the income I have already. Not a fun or amazing answer, but it's great to be practical and be glad at where you are.
My wifeās cancer can be fixed with money.
Ā£20,000 - Ā£40,000 Pays back what's left of my student loan, gives me an emergency fund, helps pay back a couple debts & probably sets me up so I don't have to struggle. I essentially lost Ā£20,000 over the last 18 months due to being long-term sick & getting no support from the government (Rent, food, bills, depression making me send money, pharmaceutical bills etc.)
10-20k would be life changing
500k. I just need to clear my loans, finish school, fund my brand, own land, build my houses then I can cultivate and invest in myself to grow my profits in addition to also just letting my money work for me. It would be so easy but I'm currently staying from the ground up...
$700k. Payoff mortgage, a loan, replace two aging cars and buy a boat. $1 million and my wife can stop working.
500ā¬. Iāll get my financial problems resolved by the end of this month.
Man this thread made me realize Iām doing a lot better than I thought lol
I read these threads to keep a realistic perspective outside my own head-space. It's been a long time since I was in a place where $1000 would be considered life-changing.
Enough to fight the boomers
Unbeknownst to us, my wife's aunt (by marriage) left us in her will an account worth about $170k. She had no children, was widowed 20y ago. Split the estate equally among her 2 brothers except for this account. Waiting for the $ to be released, she died 3 weeks ago. Trying to decide what to do with it. Current plan is a week vacation ($6k-ish), a new living room window and investing the rest.
A billion should about do it
Just enough
Money? What's that according to the real problems?
Probably around 20kā¬, to show as financial proof for my residence permit extension + pay my debts + get a nice carbon bike
If I got about 5 million after taxes, I could retire without being too paranoid something terrible will happen and I'd have to work again.
$29K
I don't have a precise count but 200k euros should well cover it; and the same again to retire outright.
$400k
I guess Iām doing good by the looks of it. Just $700 would be life-changing, itāll pay off the rest of my credit card and I can keep my income.
300k
Roughly $300k to buy a house
I don't have any financial problems. I have a mortgage but I don't consider that a problem because now it's cheaper than paying rent
All of it.
About 5 grand.
$100k a year
$100k would set me up for a better life
About tree fiddy
ābout tree fiddy
None. My problems aren't financial.
About a quarter million will get me back to zero but I'm doing all right.
I'd be happy with $2,000 a month for the rest of my life. If there is no limit though having a lump some of 100 million would make me never have to worry again
100k and Iām completely debt free, I can take it from there
I could be where I want to be on less than 50k
Much more!
Ā£180k clears my mortgage
Enough to get rid of my student loans
350k
100K
About 10k
None, I think. I mean, I would love to have about 400k DKK for a 20% down payment on a small apartment, but it's not really a *problem*. I'm currently renting a nice little apartment in a great area, I just kinda want to own my own home.
$10k could totally change my life
Strictly speaking, nothing. However, if you gave me Ā£100k, I could do all the work I want to do to my house right now without saving and doing it ion bits and pieces. If you gave me Ā£1M, I could use that to stop working and have a comfortable lifestyle.
3k for student debt
5K would get me so far. Literally just to get ahead on bills and have the smallest safety net. I can manage with very little.
$19k to get out of debt. The rest I can handle myself
The answer: yes
17k to pay off my mum's debt 20k for a house deposit 10k to sort out some other stuff/buffer That's the minimum amount. Although being able to buy a house outright would be even better.
Need? $0. Make me feel a bit more comfortable and debt free? $100,000.
Damn I wish I was rich I would be in here like Oprah, you get some money and you get some money. Oh what's that under your chair.... oops looks like it's more money, who put that their? š
How much does a big bottle of pain killers cost? That much.
No less than half a million dollars.
Zero, money can't fix my problems.
Iād say 15-20k would be enough to pay off my debts and then have a little bit to get myself on the right track.
Money can't solve any of my actual problems. But sure, I'd like to get enough money to buy my own apartment - yet lack of owned housing isn't a problem, just a mundane inconvenience.
170K. Itās all I need to pay off my house, both vehicles, and credit cards. I would be able to save about 2500 a month for savings or traveling.
Well.. Your mom usually does 30 for $50. So.. $50š¤·āāļø
the kind of issues i would like to solve require several hundred billions.
Many much money
All of it
One billion dollars.

Yes.
200K
