$1M in one shot leaves you with around $600K after taxes in most states. That’s enough to pay you around $24-30k/yr.

Unless you already had several other million saved already, I bet you’d be working again.



$25k/yr can be decent living in some places.


In no place where you’re getting a 1M pretax offer.


Yeah but what if - hear me out - you move after you get the money?


Yeah man, I'm sure that's exactly what they meant when talking about a decent living for $25k/year.


Sure but not in North America, where i assume most readers of this site are from.


Just out of pedantry, all of Mexico is in North America.


Not in any decent places.


I read this in a British accent.


Sure, buts its a solid career break for a year.
