How much monthly income would you need to permanently geomax?

[AlexBrown84]

Curious about my fellow peers and their stipends for geomaxxing

 

[14passport]

For my lifestyle 1500$/month, but to have a plan B at least double

 

[masonfrancis]

£1000

 

[Backspace]

$3000/m if guaranteed income such as rentals/dividends, a lot more if it's less stable income.

 

[fatchadlitecel]

like 2k Canadian which is like $1500

 

[Orientalist]

$1500-2k seems to be the sweet spot for pretty much doing whatever you want living like a free man at or near the city center in cheaper places like SEA/China before it's diminishing returns at >$3k. At that point that's for savings, really nice hotels, frequent flights, visiting expensive countries like Korea, HK, etc.
Every location can have costs that catch up on you tho. For me in SEA it's Grab cars, and in China it's restaurants seeming "cheap" but not dirt cheap in reality

 

[younglivinglife]

2k and 100k savings is fine. But I know people spend money fast.

interestingly enough i spent more money on food while living in bangkok than in china

but probably cuz i live in a tier 2 city and the foreign food isn’t as expensive and common

I’d say my monthly expenses outside of my monthly vacation would be around $1600 but could be a lot cheaper if i cooked more. i spend around $20 a day on cafes, ordering delivery

 

[AlexBrown84]

yea i blew thru like $60,000 the first couple years of me geomaxxing but that’s cuz i was traveling around the world fast af in biz class from Dubai to Europe then settling in Asia

now that I’ve settled down my costs have dropped significantly. $2000 is about the sweet spot for me

these are my expenses for the year. This month being the best display of an average month as i only took one trip this month that cost about $250, so rotting in my apartment for a month where in china, i spend about $1300 for everything

i make 6k USD a month tax free and im comfy

actually bank more then i spend

 

[AlexBrown84]

yea I’d find it hard to spend 6k a month in Indonesia

 

[biggunsar]

yea I’d find it hard to spend 6k a month in Indonesia

its' not possible unless im fucking movie stars or models

then you can blow through that easy

but pussy's pussy at my age. I just look for cute, tiny and tight. With an eagerness to fuck, without me having to ask

32 mil plus to chose from, so what i like, is easy to find

shit, infact so much so, i get sick of fucking sometimes.....SOMETIMES LOL

I'd get bored of geomaxing for that long

what would you suggest instead of it?

my mind has become so crystallized with this lifestyle that i can’t think of anything else to do

 

[14passport]

the main issue i see with having a low income is inflation
so many people trapped in SEA because they were fine making 1200$ for the past 15 years and all of a sudden they can't afford their lifestyle anymore

move to a single place and build something. Be close to family, etc.

Yeah, and suddendly all they do is eat ramen. Spending 300 eur a month. If you travel in thailand, you know you know.

Have to build your career too. Balance lifestyle and growth

2k is solid, 3k+ if capital city [with long term stay in mind eg. buying apartment(s)]

I like that the people on this forum are realistic. On some other sites you get guys saying 5k minimum or some shit.


Personally, I don't go to restaurants, I don't use A/C, I buy local market food and cook myself. I wear cheap clothing.
I generally spend significantly under 1k, rest is savings.

Once you hit the 10th year of geomaxxing like myself, and get to wizard status, you’ll reach 100% financial efficiency during deployments

So 8 more years, boy

What does your place look like tho? If it doesn't have a nice view and a double bed it's a no-go

Thing is if you make your career good you can scale career pretty fast. But while I was making good money my health went down

i think i was switched at birth, and i really belong to a jewish family. somewhere some jew family is looking up at the sky and saying "oh vey, why does our son spend like a goyem" LOL

what i get from this thread: 1500 usd is the consensus

if you take a 4% withdrawal rate (how much money you need to make $1500/mo last at least 30 years, look up the trinity study)

1500*12/0.04 = $450000 in stocks

almost half a mil to geomaxx for at least 30 years with your money

thoughts?

 

[geneblackman]

i don't care about money and don't like to work but i could live in a south american or asian country on $1500-2000 a month

yeah pretty much, and if you find middle class gf your cost can go down a lot as long as she is low maintenance and a good girl
+ you can pick up some part time jobs to reduce your expenses even more if needed

Curious about my fellow peers and their stipends for geomaxxing

I really don't know. In the US I managed to support my wife, kid and myself, by myself, for three years earning only $2,250 a month. Except for my kid being on Medicaid we've had zero government assistance. Managed to save well enough even during that time. So if I could do that here with a family I don't know how cheaply I could live in a place like Cambodia or whatever with a family.

when was it?
you said you've been geomaxxing for well over a decade, so this $2250 would be worth more nowadays

September 2021- February 2025. Working at Panda Express in Michigan Monday - Wednesday 9:30 am to 10:00 pm. I began having that schedule in April 2022. Four consecutive days off a week with a wife who's a full time stay at home mother. Lots of time to get things done and spend with family. We've got two vehicles with a decent 2 bedroom apartment for $950 a month in the center of the little town we live in. Walking distance of the library and the beach. My wife has a license for emergencies but otherwise doesn't drive. She takes care of the kids and 100% of the domestic labor.

Either I'm extremely fortunate or most people just don't know how to live without spending. Time is more important to me than money and living at a pace becoming of that state of mind I've ironically managed to have more of both than most people say they can glean for themselves in today's modern age.

Having a wife who doesn't look at other women or people in relationships and get to feeling like she requires to have what they have certainly helps.
