Sounds like a lot of you had way too much bloody money to begin with
Mine's a slightly different story, I'm not looking to retire, just looking to turn things back around after losing my shirt due to the Covid19 pandemic. 20+yrs prior to Sept '19 i worked a minimum wage dead end job just to pay the bills, about 10yrs in missus left me to raise the kids on my own, needless to say I've never known what it's like to have serious $$ in the bank. Squirrelled away what i could and bought a few small investments here and there when i could to one day start my own business....anyway finally got there Sept '19, i was my own boss and the future was looking bright, that was my ticket out.....Covid hit and lost my business overnight, everything I'd worked for down the gurgler, no gov't help as just a sole trader for 6 months. Now I've never been one to let things get to me so i sat down and planned out my "last roll of the dice". 10k super out....500k EXR @ 2c, next 10k super out 500k ivz @ 2c......therefore I'd need to see $2-$3 (tax adjusted) to hit that million mark. I'm happy to just let them both ride and see where the chips fall, could end up being life changing or no worse off for it, had my super in cash prior to market crash and then scooped up some ripping bargains, so taking the 20k out was just a free hit really. So far so good but there's a long way to go.
