I ll happily take 7k for rest of life and anything above that would go to charity

Living in the UK and I'd happily take £3k a month. Greed is a horrible thing.

I think 7 until 50 and then 2 henceforth is actually very decent. Having the option of putting multiple kids through a decent education is nice. Considering we aren't allowed to increase our net worth through anything but passive income stemming from savings. Couldn't care less about my circumstances after 50/ will be actually very happy with 2/m till end of life but until 50 3 wouldn't allow for the greatest circumstances for my kiddies talking from experience

Anything above £12k is just absurd. £7k is more than enough tbh.

The people who said 25k and 30k are either making millions per year or are trolling.

Different currencies?

In OZ to be totally comfortable I would say 6k tax free.

In the U.K. I might be wrong but £2.2k tax free is fine I think.

This changes with inflation etc though so would need to increase say 3% a year or so.

Is this a Chinese auction and you're gonna do it pads or is it like the 9/11 thing for people to write random stuff about random stuff?

Depends on the standard of living you are used to and have worked to achieve. I would want min 15k

Yeh I'd snap take £2k a month cause it's looking likely i'll never earn more than that with any job I get anyway

realisticly lowest possible ud take would be £2k could live a modest life and not worry about much, but prob £4k+ for the cocaine and whores etc

Can you expand on this please? you have a $ per game played system or something? if you don't want to go into detail thats fine just curious

obv!!!

I'd like a $1,000,000 a month. I don't understand the point of this random question. Is there a free lottery drawing we can enter to win a monthly payment?

£100k+

Lots of people here seem to have zero idea about how much money they will be living off monthly when retiring.

Many will be lucky to be on 25k a year let alone month (obv excluding inflation here).

Poker doesn't come with an awesome pension plan?

they coach the players that are below them, and get paid for that coaching.

As always voice of truth talking absolute bollocks and the last post just shows he has no idea what he's talking about.

Of course stables can be profitable without ghosting.

As far as bitB and ghosting. Tomi/Sam/me are barely online at the business end of the tournaments. If we are then it means we've been playing, once we've finished playing we do cool down sessions via stream with the stable where we go over the hands from our session OR we stream our very deep runs. We often put deep runs of horses on the screen to sweat, but they are generally offline and never sharing their cards.

we actually had a guy recently join us because his ex stable forced to ghost him when he was uncomfortable with it and he heard from his friends in our stable that the culture is the opposite here.

We have very good connections of who is ghosting in the poker world and I have a document with 600+ players on with very detailed notes sometimes including who they are staked/housemates with etc. if a horse is deep with somebody that I know is ghosted I'll always fb them (our guys generally aren't on skype etc when they play) to say that X is probably ghosted by Y.

The guys in top tiers get % of lower tiers profits based on their involvement in their development.

saying 2k/mo would be sufficient to retire means retiring whenever you have 1.2M in your account (2k x 12mo x 50yr), I guess the question's intention is to figure out at what bankroll the poker population would consider retiring.

You're probably gonna want to spend a bit of that 2k every month

meh, just report them to PS for the integrity of games.

it's similar to the NoelHayes thing when pros got bashed for not reporting him/sharing the info with other players at the tables.

of course if you have any evidence, not just showboating here with this 600+ players thing.

2k per month is like a 35k job, better than what most people seem to have

For a 3br place(7-10m from capital's downtown area) + car + gas+ electricity+internet+phone plan im at 1.1k~ in a first world country.. that leaves 900$ for food and entertainment. Certainly not bad. I could downgrade to 1 or 2br to drop under 1k.

I'd be really happy getting 2k no strings attached, doesn't cost much money to go running or go surf in Asia/south America. Once i get older i'll be living off my parent's baby boomer leftover money anyways, it's not like most millennial can get any money without sacrificing their quality of life anyways, easier to just enjoy less money until the boomers die.

Rofl, indeed! Pretty certain my Dad retired after working all his life as a doctor (GP) and is on close to the lowest amount suggested as acceptable by some people itt. Add to that that he has to pay tax on everything over 11k a year too in the UK.

When you take in to account what the average **** muncher is going to do in life, then the realistic sum for most people will be even less than that.

Dunno why you guys wanna go all pessimistic when faced with a hypothetical scenario. Coming up with my number I take into account the most expensive place I'd like to live in at some point being SF @ 6k/mo price tag, and then I add to that a compensation for: a. capping my life to whatever x/mo can afford, b. removing the concepts of work & career from my life options (assuming the question requires me to not work anymore). I could go down to 8k/mo but def not less

In addition this is one case where long term thinking does not really apply, as say your lifetime avg expecation is 4k/mo
1. Now is when you are going to make the top end of that, at 6-7k/mo or whatever
2. Now, at your youngest age is when you want to be spending 6-7k/mo on whatever crazy **** you come up with

In to follow, best of luck for 2017.

I really like the answers guys! Like that everybody has a different pov. Will wait for some more and then give mine.
