I would be happy with powerball's second prize tonight of a $1 million because I could be debt free. Plus I would pay off my mothers debt too. Then buy her a new car and a nice one at that. Still have money in the bank after all of that so I could not complain.-weshar75

Here in the states about $50,000-$75,000 base on interest rate of .5 or .75

In other countries like Australia according to one of the earlier post $400,000 based on a 4% rate.

The interest rate in Australia makes a mockery of what banks here in the states pay out. On the flip side our mortgage rates are very appealing compared to other nations.

Looks like you missed the HISTORIC part.

That was actual inflation between 1915 and 1920. When attempting to plan, why not use historic worst case?

Unless of course you can tell me the exact figures. Repeating, the future numbers will always be better or worse. You do have to start somewhere and, for me, historic worst case is where I start.

Oh and you may ask why inflation was so high back then. Remember that the federal income tax started during that period in 1913.

But if you think that's bad, look at what he did to Obama.

He made his whole 1st Term a total disaster and he's currently making his whole 2nd Term a total disaster too.

That's one powerful ex-President.

And now he's making Barry destroy the whole country!

KY Floyd — Sun, 08 Dec 2013 01:07:31 GMT

Where did you get those numbers? they suggest an average rate of inflation of about 5.5% over 40 years, but the first 5 years is 14.5% and the next 5 years is 1.6%. Regardless, how much do you think you could earn by investing $5.47 million when inflation is at 14% or 5.5%?

The figures that BigBear posted don't account for any investment income at all, but a rate of 2.44% would yield a gross income of slighty more than $133,415. Let's figure 3.5% is required to result in that much after taxes... [ More ]

Good point Think, but hopefully I can stay under the $133,415 a year ($2585.56 a week) and carry over what is left to the next year. I would like to stay an average person, so not eating at 5 star restaurants every week, no $100,000.00 cars, and just stay on budget or below.

Lets see...using historic inflation figures...

133,415 after

5 years = 67,597

10 years = 62,364

15 years = 48,157

20 years = 39,130

25 years = 32,212

30 years = 27,618

35 years = 24,443

40 years = 15,696

That's with historic worst case. It could always be better or worse.

bigbear29 — Sat, 07 Dec 2013 16:11:12 GMT

I hear alot of people talking about a 1 billion dollar mega millions pot. But, what would make you happy, how much money would make you happy? Me, after giving my family money, I would be happy with 10 millions dollars to retire on.

10,000,000 - 3,000,000 dollar house = 7,000,000

cars, house stuff ($300,000), house taxes per/year ($1,230,000) - 7,000,000 = 5,470,000

$5,470,000 / 41 years = $133,415.00 a year budget with hardly no bills. Would this make you happy or would you need more
