I don't know about you, but I could live quite comfortably on that. Keep doing that year after year, and you'd never need to touch that $495 mil.

Let's say you just can't manage to spend $100k per month. Fine. Add whatever leftover cash to your $495 mil in CDs and watch the total compound and your yearly interest earnings increase.

I don't know how well this would actually work in the real world. But it seems good on paper.

Good luck to y'all.
