        first off, you did the math wrong. if you have $1000 dollars, a 4% gain would be $1040. If a laptop costs $1000 dollars, 10% inflation would make it $1100. $1100 is 105.77% of $1040. So you're losing 5.77% to cost of living increases.

        There are also plenty of countries and areas of the US without 10% inflation and do you really expect things to keep going business as usual for years to come? Prices will already have crashed by the time OP uses up his mil.

          >Prices will already have crashed
          I don't think you understand what inflation is
          If inflation went to 0% today, then prices would stay the same, what you are talking about is deflation which is even worse for an economy and no government will allow it to happen.

        No that was actually good advice.

        You don't put the entire thing in tax-exempt munis, just a big enough portion to create steady enough income to finance your adventure. You're supposed to diversify your assets other than bonds, but the tax-exempt interest is a godsend for people who just want a super-safe investment with no headache. Also it's more than 4%, because it's not subjected to taxes. Think about how much the IRS takes a cut of your investment, and your 4% is looking like 5.5% or 6% plus.

        As another anon said, Inflation isn't always going to be this bad, which is why you snap up bonds when they're cheap (interest rates are high) if you're planning on holding to maturity (or par call where you get your original principal back) because you're not going to be trading that shit around.

          OK genius you just lost 8% of your investment plus another 10% to inflation, now your $ million is down to $820,000 what's the next step? Wait for interest rates and inflation to rise more and lose another 30%?

            >buying a bond etf is the same thing as buying a bond and holding it

            You could buy a 100,000 par bond 4% that matures next year. You would get 100,000 next year. In the meantime, you would get two payments of 2,000 dollars. Simple as.

            Just because you don't understand anything other than exchange-traded instruments doesn't mean that other types of investments don't exist.

              College moron thinking, not only did you take on more expenses to buy the bond outright but you lost out on diversification. And you still lost the same value when interest rates rose as the etf holder college boy. You is dumd

                He will make 4,000 dollars. He won't get taxed on the 4,000 dollars. The additional 4,000 dollars will be in his bank account next year so he can spend them on anime figures and hookers. The OP doesn't care about his "balance sheet" or his "paper losses" on 10% of his million dollars. He cares about how much money he has in comparison to last year.

    Follow the advice in this thread. Invest at least half of it in various kinds of asset, including crypto. Live frugally. Don't spend 4,000/month. Spend at most $600/month on rent, cook for yourself or have a live-in girlfriend cook for you. Don't waste money on expensive clothing, hotels, food, or outings. If you use the money right, you'll be able to make a lot more in a short amount of time.

    with 1 million dollars you can live off that forever if you invest it in the right funds, you even pay 0 taxes on your withdrawals if the money is invested for more than 1 year and you withdraw less than 40,000 a year

    listen to the others. constantly traveling will wear you down and ruin it for you. stay in one place and do something there, immerse yourself in the culture, take short trips nearby places, and move on. constantly being nomadic is tiring and empty.

    trust me. I traveled for ten years. sometimes I stayed in a country for a few years but I still never stayed in the same residence for more than six months. you end up without savings or a backup option, you need to make connections and have work experience to get out of those situations. put at least half in savings, and find something to do abroad at least.

    You can tell no anon here is from a sound financial background.

    First OP: Buy a house or apartment. From there, invest in either a bank which is secure and good interest or at least one where you can put a hefty sum away.

    Frpm there, budget and enjoy some travel.

    Step 1: put $950k into an index fund tracking the FTSE Global All Cap index.
    Step 2: Put $50k as emergency fund in bank.
    Step3: withdraw no more than 3.5% a year.
    Step4: Live your life.

    No bonds, they are dead weight on a portfolio, just adjust your spending and wind it back a bit if there's a bad year.
