If I want to just live my life and do what I want, why not work a $60,000 job a year on the road doing manual/semi-manual labor, saving as much as I can, and then retiring when I hit around 800,000 in my stock portfolio? If I only need to live off of 30k a year, why would that be problematic?

I dunno, why would it?

The pic is clearly unrelated.

But you did not answer my question.
>>1481081
There is nothing wrong with that plan, save for working a manual job, maybe.

So why do more people not do it?

People are irrational and stupid

I'll also mention there is risk in putting everything into the stock market. How would you cope with a depression with a slow recovery?
You'll have to sell more shares to pay for potentially more expensive goods and services.
Things can go pear shaped.

What other accounts can you use as completely passive cash-generation?
>>1481237
I think buying property and renting it out is the pretty much safest option and has a pretty good track record for millenia

What's the return on it, though?
It's also the scummiest thing to do.

how is renting a house out scummy?
