What is your Fuck You number?

Strange Brew eh	What is your Fuck You number?		Lead	[-]
Posts: 5945 May 29, 2012 5:01 PM	Remove this ad Saw a friend of mine over the long weekend and he told me about a friend of his. Guy is 40ish and 14 years ago took over his 401k after rolling it to a Roth IRA. Supposedly started with about $50-60k in there. Made no profits for a couple of years then took off. Well, he told my friend that while he had made his normal $5k distribution he finally hit his number recently. He went into his boss and gave two weeks and quit. Turns out he was done when he hit $10M. Knowing nothing of the guy beyond my friend he must have hit a couple of huge runs and I bet he has a super concentrated portfolio I can see him having a bad streak and giving quite a bit of that up. So my buddy said what is your amount to walk into your boss and say "Fuck You". Mine is $5M.

I've got a lot less than that and when my financial advisor told me the income she could spin off my investments and said "Can you live on that?" my response was "Yes, but not like I'd want to." However, it wouldn't take a lot more annual income, say $10-$15K/year to make me comfortable. OTOH, I really like my job and will probably work for another 6-7 years, unless something drastic happens health or family-wise. Bitches get things done - Tina Fey, SNL (2008)

I think whatever # people say they want for income is the right answer. Different strokes for different folks. I'd ask your advisor for any creative ideas on how you might be able to get to that extra 10-15k in income. I don't think the bold is necessarily fair to say either. Perhaps the individual wants to give 90% of it away at death. What is wrong with that? Everyone wins -- the person while living and the charities at death...

That would be more than enough to live off the interest alone, but I'm not sure I could get by with just a part time job at this point in my life.

Posts: 3095 May 29, 2012 8:22 PM	Mine's simple. In less than 21 months, I'll reach $350,000 in the bank plus have my deferred comp, 401K, minor investments, and pension. I'll say "Fuck it" then and be gone. It'll be enough "The best thing you can do is act like a man and don't beg and plead and embarrass yourself."

Posts: 3646 May 30, 2012 7:39 AM Beware the milkman!	I am just going to wait until the entire financial system comes crashing down and money becomes worthless. Then my number will be $5,000, but only for purposes of collecting as a hobby. In between fighting off looters and bath-salted face cannibals it will be neat to show houseguests and other safeguarded people my antique currency collection. They will be impressed!

Well, it depends on your age. I'm 33 so my FU number is going to pretty high. I have a lot of years to live, a sizable mortgage, and I'd like to have kids still someday that I'll have to rasie. Plus, with being this young, I'll want to have the kind of money that allows me to travel a lot and do a lot of cool stuff. I love my dad's retired lifestyle down in Florida of a walk on the beach after breakfast, golfing at 10, happy hour at 4, and in bed right after the news. But I can't do that for 50 years.
