How Much Money Would You Need to Quit Working?

escurimX · Dec 2, 2017

stop working, I think it does not work
but I would like to earn a good amount!

bmw1983kaz · Dec 2, 2017

Not much seeing as I'm not working ATM hahaha

vassourilson · Dec 2, 2017

I would need 1 million in a fixed rate investment.

Not sure if I would play much poker after that... Proably stick to music instruments, outdoor sports and etc.

Easy answer.....looking to retire soon and be OMC putting on the youngsters on tilt...since I will have the discretionary income.....and a separate middish.... 5 figure dedicated poker roll.....

But to answer the question $146 K gross per year US dollars for Texas and this is adjusted for 3% per year inflation rate.....Based upon our portfolio. and asset allocation.......as we are very conservative in our AA.....as we glide path to retirement.....

After 42 years in the oil patch....let's play some cards.....

Will be in the Sr's in Vegas to play in my 1st Seniors...in June of 18....and we will be there for a week before and after....and I will be gambooooling.....come and get some....

Short term....heading in to Texas for a month in a week....will be playing Winstar, Tulsa, OK City, Shreveport, Baton Rouge and Lake Charles....lets gamboool.... I love to bust the young pro wanna be's......

It's all good fun for me....as I work in a shiite hole location for 10 months per year.....so when we come home - we come to have fun....money does not matter.....

But sometimes I go on a run and ruin the GTO brainiacs bankrolls....and when I lose a few grand......Reload !

Let's gamboool.....

I think $1000 a month would be enough for me so I would quit my job in this case and play poker only.

When I would quit my job and play poker

For me I wouldn't need enough money to live for the rest of my life but I would like to have about a year's worth of needed income set aside for living along with a bankroll that more than comfortably supported playing at 5/10 at least before I considered quiting and only playing poker. So, as far as money needs I'd say I could comfortably live for a year with 50k. Then add my loaded bankroll(most experts recommend 40 buy ins) so 40x2000= 80,000k. Add a little extra cushion let's double that say 150k for bank roll plus 50k living money and I'd say I give living off of poker a shot. I would keep a tight watch on my budget. If I ever dropped below 100k in my poker account I would start looking for work again.

I think the right answer is debt free, and decent sized bankroll. For me I would want the security of being mortgage and loan free, to really give it a go

David macdonald · Jan 11, 2018

If only it was this easy, no idiot players and bad beats and I would win millions

kraemer · Jan 11, 2018

None....

I would only need food, housing and weed for a lifetime.

grogrich · Jan 11, 2018

300 grand and the right investments would probably be enough to give yourself a decent income even if you have a really bad run of poker. You can always live on Kraft dinner for awhile.

SkrypnykOleg · Jan 11, 2018

I think that it is not necessary to leave permanent work, for poker, until you get to the level of live tournaments and do not win them! you will not be able to survive on tournaments on the Internet!

rfbh54 · Jan 11, 2018

I do not quit poker for the sake of poker. It's a hobby and it's hard to make good money on it.

FreeDom1998 · Jan 13, 2018

$ 2000 per month will be needed to prevent me from working

Mikeloti13 · Feb 2, 2018

I think you should always have a safe income. If you make a lot of many, buy some propery and rent it, or buy a small company, open a coffe shop or something. Thats what i did. I opened a bar and always have a safe income.

oneloy · Feb 14, 2018

As one player said, the above mentioned, 20-30 thousand dollars, this in my country will not be enough. I think that to forget about the hard work, I need a million ... maybe I overdid the stick, but still ...

charlie2013 · Feb 14, 2018

something like this: 900.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.00

Ranish625 · Feb 14, 2018

Poker is a game that up today, tomorrow you all later, I think to do this is very difficult!

triplstacker · Feb 14, 2018

I wouldn't treat poker as my main source of income. I'd probably rely on 8% dividends so about 1 million + mortgage paid off.

I quit my job 10 years ago to become a poker pro. I had about 10k USD at the time, playing NL100 online.

how did that turn out for you?

vinokyrov oo · Feb 14, 2018

Мне было бы достаточно 600 тысяч в стране, где я живу

TheWiseWeasel · Feb 15, 2018

At my level and considering my play style i will not quit job for poker even i would have a big bankroll.I find poker not to be a safe and continuous source of income.

ledsmith · Feb 17, 2018

1000 dollars a month would be excellent. In my country this is a large sum. But if I received a thousand a month, I think I would immediately want more)

antonis32123 · Feb 17, 2018

Maybe win once the Sunday million or the similar tournaments in 888 or ACR , it would be a good step towards the general plan and target to quit job , won't it ??

If the normal Sunday millionprize is not enough then the Anniverssary 1 million gurranteed to the winner

I tried to get an entrance ticket to it last time , played many sats , but failed

, next time I will be successfull

I hope the fact that Pokerstars failed to get all the money that guaranteed last time in the anniversarry don't have as a result not to repeat this anniverssary again .

COLA981 · Feb 18, 2018

Maybe if i win 215$ sunday milion i will quit my joob

Djmickre · Feb 18, 2018

I will be happy with 100.000 $
