re: #3 Barflytom
Try moving to London or Switzerland with just that amount of capital - you’d barely qualify as middle class.
Speaking of just flat-out lies:
Switzerland has a per-capita average income of $83,073. If you got just 8% income on your million dollars, which would be a distinctly average return, you’d be right in the middle. If you aggressively pursued stock investment, you’d get about 20% returns.
Does it bug you to have to lie so much?
