I know 500k aint chit but Most guys who think money will help them are in the 500k range, if theyre lucky. Who the f here has 5 million liquid? Or 1M for that matter.
True. Well, you might have that easily in a house in LA or San Fran. A million alone just in a average house at best invested but not liquid. If I had 5 million dollars in bank accounts I'd be too busy in other businesses and earning big money, not posting on forums for hours everyday.
Most run of the mill NHL players under 26 don't even have 5 million dollars just laying around in the bank.
Around here not many guys under 40 have 500k cash in the bank unless they're a doctor or work at a law firm. I'm sure where you're from out in California people got that kind of money since the jobs pay so good.
500k though is an excellent starting point. With that you can invested some of it, start a business, buy a house to rent out, hire personal trainer to work with you at the gym, get liposuction, cosmetic work.
You can easily turn that 500k into a lot more money.
