If you are 20 years old, expect to live to 100, and can imagine maybe spending $1 million per year, your maximum lifetime expenses are only $80,000,000. Once you have a large enough share of this that investment returns can earn the rest, you do not ever need to work again
The threshold for “no need to work” is way lower than $1,000,000,000. More than 12 times lower, in fact.
- DomeGuy@lemmy.worldtoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone actually prefer Android over iOS?6·20 days ago
It’s really hard to discuss your percieved faults in either android phones writ large, google-connected Android phones in general, or Samsung in particular if you don’t ennumerate said faults.
That being said : yes, I vastly prefer Android to iPhone. The latter comes with vendor lock-in and user infantilization that made the platform untenable for me more than a decade ago, and nothing I’ve heard since has given me reason to reconsider.
If you’re all-in with an iPhone, Mac, apple watch, and the rest, I’m sure that swapping out the iPhone for a Samsung had any number of aggrivations. But faulting Samsung for that lock-in would be like blaming Valve when the LibreOffice on your steam-cube doesnt seamless connect to iCloud.
- DomeGuy@lemmy.worldtoShowerthoughts@lemmy.world•Of the three most popular superheroes, Superman was born with powers, Batman created his powers, and Spiderman had powers thrust upon him2·22 days ago
Spider-man literally started as a pro wrestler who used his powers and a costume to make money
He was costumed and super-powered first, but heroic only after his uncle was killed. (By a thief whom Spidey let get away, since the victim was the wrestling promoter who cheated him out of his first earnings.)
