Minimum Investment Threshold
The concept of the Minimum Investment Threshold provides a tangible formula to enable individuals to achieve financial independence and make work optional. This threshold is calculated by taking the inverse of the historical return of the asset class held and multiplying it by one's gross annual income. Once this minimum investment is reached, it indicates that the annual return on investments is likely to match or exceed one’s annual salary, making it possible for individuals to prioritize personal fulfillment over financial necessity. Additionally, long-term investment income typically incurs lower tax rates compared to traditional job income, further enhancing financial flexibility. Achieving this threshold allows a transition from needing to work solely for financial gain, thereby opening avenues for more fulfilling career choices or a lifestyle centered on personal interests and family commitments.
