so what do you do until the money starts giving you interest?

live off nothing?

1st of all I wasn't making nothing before the lump sum came so I have a way to handle current expenses. Second if I didn't have that luxury like someone mentioned the 2 mill can be a down payment on a much larger business. I prefer doing biz vs the banks stupid return rates. With a steady solid business like even a franchised restaurant that people already go to a lot and has steady returns will give you immediate money

Ok fair...the highest interest rate to compound on a savings account right now is about 1.15% which is done on a daily interval.

I don't want to tie up all of my $2MM because I want to spend some of that newfound wealth now so let's say I drop $1.5MM in there...in 5 years my account will accrue to $1,588,776.47 so I made almost $89K.

Conversely, with $4K coming in weekly for five years I'm making a little over $1,040,000...though I don't have that initial $500K to play with.

Its still up to the person to be honest...how you want to spend/flip/whatever the money is up to your personal preference. I'd even wager that there are people who don't like putting money in banks lmfao.



Bank rates ain't shyt compared to simple solid business returns.

For everyone taking the 2 million and flipping it, can you provide me with a concrete plan to match or exceed $16,000 in monthly cash flow :jbhmmdup:? I'm genuinely curious as to how you guys expect to make that happen.

You keep moving the goalposts:

I first addressed the fact that "solid business returns" aren't necessarily guaranteed and that not everyone is meant or interested in being an entrepreneur.

Then you said that you don't need to be a "financial genius" and that you can put the money into an account. I provided an actual breakdown with what rates are actually available right now and showed you what the side by side earnings would be in the same time period and even conceded to an extent that some people may like dropping the money in a savings account, (although I wouldn't just put an entire $2MM in there and have no money to spend now). Plus you'd still make more money with the weekly $4K in the same 5 year period.

Now you're saying that bank rates aren't shyt compared to business returns as a retort lmao.

You just went full circle and ended up at the start of my whole post.

With respect to the poster who just lost his sister; I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for saying that...I agree with you for the other folks though if they really don't have a reason for saying it lol.

Shut funny as hell looking back :laff:
Hilarious. Even funnier was what he suggested doing with the $2 million...
You can take that 2 millie

buy a stock like coca cola that costs roughly $40 and pays roughly a .33 dividend

and every 3 months make $16500 which equates to $5500 per month


and you would still have the 2 million sitting pretty


but nikkas rather wait 10 years to even get close to the 2 million mark :dead:

No wonder nikkas aint got shyt

So he's suggesting you take all of your $2 million dollars and park it in coca cola stock so that you can live off a dividend of $5,500 per month before taxes and is saying that's better than getting $4,000 a week, untaxed. nikkas actually dapped this post too. :deadrose:


nikka, I make more than $5,500 per month now, why would I do this dumb ass plan if I suddenly came upon $2 million???:mjlol:

Smart dumb nikkas of the coli acting like $2 million is $2 billion where you truly could live and enjoy your life whilst your money makes money in the background. Like I said in my first post, $2M is the right answer IF you truly know how to flip it and have the desire to do the work involved with flipping it. You ain't gonna sit on your ass and beat $4k/week. Oh, and even if you do know what you're doing, you're still assuming risk that things won't go as you planned. The choice is simple, take the $2M and spend your time continuing to chase more and more money or take the $4k/week and live a better financial life than your current one without ever having to work again.

Easy choice for me. :yeshrug:

I like your reasoning you seem to approach it practically than most Coli who thinking theological.

You have 2 million cash.

You can put down half on like 8-10 multi unit properties, take out mortgages for the rest of it. Interest rates are insanely low right now. You invest in minimal renovations. You rent them out and you would start collecting rent right away. The rent roll alone would be much higher than your mortgage payments. Not to mention these homes will likely increase in value over time so long as it's not a destitute location

Or you can find distressed properties and/or short sales and forclosures... renovate them and sell them off.

Or you can even invest in a commercial lot and rent out the storefronts.

One thing all rich people have in common, they own land. They own properties.

Under the 4K a week plan it would be 10 years before you can invest at this level and that's assuming you saved every penny.

Most people would be happier with a steady salary which is what 4k a week is. They'd be happy and comfortable and worry free.
Business people in the coli would all take the lump sum because we've already made that decision in our personal lives to go the route of investments and starting busineses because the rewards are exponentially higher.

But you are assuming that ppl taking the 16K monthly, wouldn't invest.

1st of all I wasn't making nothing before the lump sum came so I have a way to handle current expenses. Second if I didn't have that luxury like someone mentioned the 2 mill can be a down payment on a much larger business. I prefer doing biz vs the banks stupid return rates. With a steady solid business like even a franchised restaurant that people already go to a lot and has steady returns will give you immediate money

you can start a business with 4k/ week as well. You can have a franchise, do real estate, anything you want. 16/month is a lot of money to work with.


if you took 10K/ month out of your money you could buy a house every month, rent that out, and still hold 6 k per month to live....quite comfortably while collecting your rent or reflipping those profits.
except now you are using the banks money to work for YOU.

it's a much safer investment, and the money stacks up pretty, you will enjoy long term investment and equity and assets.


10K at 5% gets you a 200K house. you do that 12 times a year? and you are sitting on 2.4 Mil just in property. that is now being paid off by your renters.

and that means you STILL have your regular 72K coming in that you can live real comfortable off of.

that is just YEAR 1.

do the same thing in year two, year 3, year 4,etc.

Spend part of the money on real estate

Apartment complexes or picking up properties that have tax liens

The tax lien houses have great potential cuz you can't get loans for em, it's cash only. That means the prices are bargains cuz it's less competition

My friend is looking at a 6 unit complex for like 400k

He's putting down 80k, and after expenses he will profit 800 per unit every month

Corporate subleasing for people that travel to Houston for cancer treatment. I was just talking to a guy who is subleasing 4 apartments long term for cancer patients and he profits 800-1200 per apartment....and he does absolutely nothing


There's plenty of shyt to do if you got the money
