No, continue to work. However, the major difference would be I am no longer dependent on the income for a living. The $5 million can be used to invest or buy properties as investment or to be a landlord. It is important to continue working to keep the brain active and also for social relationships. However, i think i will be less hesistant to quit AND move on to another job. Holding down a job can now just be for mental engagement, to learn things for fun or work entirely for passion or even work for voluntary causes. I would explore like working just part-time or more likely to go off pay for time to spend with family or travel or for pastimes. In short, just work for the benefits od working!
Good for global investors but i also suspect that there will be more trading during the current trading hours. No need to pay attention to the stock market 24/7 since can set limits. Definitely looking forward to 24/7 trading hours!
I am not a trader; i am more of an investor. For good stocks, i would prefer to buy when the price is right to average down. Of course, the other strategy is also to take profit and buy more when the price is right. However, if the earnings suggest that the company is not performing and if fundamentals change, then i would be better to take profit or even cut at a loss; no point holding on to lousy stocks. With the exception of SREITs, I generally prefer to buy ETFs so that i have an easy time deciding in times like these![Chuckle]
