Comment on Ask HN: FU Money: What is your number?parent

Comments

I'm thinking something similar, but remember also that on top of the 60-90k/year, you will also have an extra income from you (and your spouse) doing "whatever you want" which may only add a few tens of thousands, but it'd make a difference. You're not going to sit around on your sofa playing video games for 365 days a year, are you?

As a Catholic, I'd figure you'd have more respect for volunteer work and such?

Last time I checked, that didn't pay.

Is that what you're going to do 365 days a year? I think the typical definition of "FU money" is, enough money so that you never have to do anything you don't want to do. Not so you simply never have to do anything, at all, ever...

Yes, actually. I have a cousin who runs a charity that could use someone to do their IT work for free.
